    The best observation point of the Three Gorges Dam, standing at the commanding height of Tanziling, can see the whole picture of the dam and the five-level lock. The huge concrete building spans the Yangtze River, like a giant dragon lying on the river, and the five-level locks are progressively advancing, and the ships pass in an orderly manner. The strong visual impact is amazing at the greatness of human engineering. However, there are too many people during May 1st, and it may be more comfortable to see it in the off-season.

    The scenic area combines various natural landscapes and cultural performances. It's not bad. It's a little bit strenuous. It's still a bit hot in the summer vacation, but there is a cave inside that is very cool. You can go there to escape the heat when it's too hot. The overall commercialization is relatively high. It is recommended to use a small sightseeing car. If you don't like walking, you can rent one and drive it yourself. I forgot to mention the travel meals inside. I signed up for a one-day tour. I need to pay an extra 35 yuan to have lunch at a store at noon. There are 10 people at a table. It's very unpalatable and very pitfalls. Avoid thunder

    Too shocking! I am proud of the big country heavy equipment! The height of more than 100 meters can be lifted in just ten minutes. It is a very different feeling. I experienced the elevator by the boat! The experience of the Three Gorges ship lift line is very good. There are staff on the deck on the third floor to explain and learn a lot of knowledge!

    I feel that the amusement facilities are still a little less, the park is not big enough, and it took me a while to finish the tour. It took me a while to watch the performances inside. The movie "Three Gorges Eternal Love" was good, and the other performances were a bit monotonous. It was nice to take pictures. Overall it was very good.

    It was so hot🥵, overall it was okay, the same price as the official price, no discount. I spent 65/person on the way (I understand the tour guide), so be careful when choosing if you have elderly people or small children in hot weather.

    You can enjoy a panoramic view of the Three Gorges Dam across the way. Electric carts are optional and cover a distance of just over a kilometer each way. The Qu Yuan Temple, originally built in the Tang Dynasty, was relocated once for the Gezhouba Dam project and again for the Three Gorges Dam. The county government office and ancient dwellings resemble a small county town; I wonder if they were also relocated. During the National Day holiday, there are many performances showcasing local boat trackers' songs, folk songs, and customs, which are quite entertaining.
