I had the fortune to visit the Three Gorges Dam, both on its surface and inside
I once had the opportunity to visit the Three Gorges Dam on and inside. I took a cruise from Chongqing to Zigui Port, then drove to the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges Dam was not as massive as I had imagined, but its length was very long, and I saw several large units inside. I also saw how cargo ships and passenger ships passed through the power station, and how a 3000-ton cargo ship was lifted by machinery... It was truly an eye-opening experience.
The ship we were on was the Gold 1, the space in the rooms was not as large as in hotels, and the bathrooms were also quite small, especially the bedding was very damp, but the scenery along the way was really stunning! If you have time, you can go and experience it for yourself.
