胡佛水壩

離開拉斯維加斯後來到1931年興建的胡佛水壩，位於美國亞利桑那州與內華達州交界處的全美國🇺🇸最大水壩，同時也是電影變形金拍攝場景。來到胡佛水壩最有趣的，就是因為水壩本身連接了亞利桑那州、內華達州，兩州存在著一小時的時差，因此短短幾步之間的兩座塔柱上，分別顯示了兩州不同的這時間，多走一步你就多了一個小時呢！

在拉斯維加斯之旅,我們花了一天時間開車去了胡佛大壩。我們報名參加了一個旅遊,其中包括一部迷你紀錄片和導遊的旅行,以查看大壩的內部運作。非常有教育意義 - 我們看到了大蕭條時代最偉大的美國工程奇蹟之一,所有設計都是用鋼筆和鉛筆設計的,由人建造。大壩是在預算和提前計劃下建造的!#胡佛大壩 #美國 #工程奇蹟

胡佛水壩是科羅拉多河上的著名水利工程。在美國內華達州和亞利桑那州州界上。壩高221m，壩頂長379m。四面環山，地勢險峻，景色優美。

胡佛水壩(Hoover Dam)是美國科羅拉多河上的關鍵性工程，可以防洪、灌溉、發電、航運、供水等。大壩系混凝土重力拱壩，壩高221.4m，1931年4月開始興建，1936年3月建成。它在世界水利工程行列中佔有重要的地位。

驚人的工程。從大壩頂部和橋(內華達州到亞利桑那州)的美景。道路令人驚歎。感覺我們只是漂浮。維護得很好。花了四年時間完成了大壩的建設。會推薦這個地方。

When we arrived at Hoover Dam, we parked our car in the parking lot of the tourist center ($10/unlimited time), took enough drinking water and walked to the top of the dam (the temperature was as high as 40 degrees Celsius on that day, it was very important to replenish water). The radial gate was quite powerful to watch from high to low. Not far away, Highway 93 crossed the mountain, and its bridge became the perfect background of the dam. Large diversion tunnels and large power grid towers form a magnificent picture. The top of the dam is a two-lane road. We are happy to walk right and left. We have a panoramic view of Lake Mide and the dam. Then we take the elevator down to the viewing platform. After security check, we know that it is a toll-paying attraction. In fact, it is the difference between far and near. USD10 yuan/person feels worthless and goes back to the top of the dam.

We stopped here on our way back to Las Vegas from the Grand Canyon West Canyon. Crossing the Colorado River, Hoover Dam is the largest dam in the United States, also known as the "Desert Drill". To watch the Hoover Dam carefully, you need to walk on the high Mike O" Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (260 meters from the water surface). The bridge is an arch bridge across the Colorado River connecting Arizona and Nevada. The McO'Callahan-Patterterman Memorial Bridge is named after Nevada Governor McO'Callahan and local American football player Patterterman. The latter joined the Army from the Arizona Cardinals and died in Afghanistan. The Memorial Bridge is tall and steep. The wind is very strong that day. Standing on the bridge, it feels like being blown away by the wind.
