Three Gorges Dam to Open to Tourists in May

Informed sources at the China Three Gorges Project Corporation (CTGPC) disclosed on Apr. 9th that the top of the Three Gorges left-bank dam would officially open to tourists during the May Day holiday.

 

Visitors from home and abroad will be able to take in the world's largest water conservancy project.

 

The first and second phases of the project have already completed construction.

 

The top of the left-bank dam and the spillway section reach as high as 185 meters above sea level, and the left-bank dam section is more than 1640 meters long.

 

The splendid structure towers over the river like huge dragons. Heretofore, tourists were not allowed to step on the dam, but could only marvel at the magnificent view from afar.
