Three Gorges Dam Viewing Tourist Area

The self-driving tour started at 8:30 in the morning and arrived in Yichang at 2:00 in the afternoon. We had lunch in the city. We needed to apply for a pass to go to the dam area. On the road, we saw people waving and talking to people with out-of-town license plates. Don't pay attention to them (you might get scammed). We arrived at the dam area at around 2:30. We parked the car in the parking lot of the ticket office and went to the lobby to buy bus tickets. Each person was 35 yuan. Children under 1.3 meters did not need tickets. The bus will take everyone from the bottom of the mountain to the dam. 35 yuan includes the round trip. It's really convenient! The scenery on the dam is quite spectacular. You can see the panoramic view of the Three Gorges Dam, and there is an observation platform. The round trip is less than 2 hours. The air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant.

I went to Chaotianhou Rafting in Yichang on the weekend. I was going to visit the Three Gorges the next day, but the road was blocked by floods, so I chose the Three Gorges Dam as a temporary attraction. It's a long way from the city to the dam. After I got there, although the scenic area is very large, I am not naturally interested in history, geography, and physics, and I couldn't understand it at all. I just walked around and came out. It is recommended to visit only if you are really interested in the history of dam construction, otherwise it will be tiring and boring to spend this time to see it.

The Three Gorges Tanziling in Sanduping Town, Yiling District, Yichang City is a viewing platform in the Three Gorges Dam area. It is located at the survey point for dam construction. It is the commanding height of the Three Gorges construction site and an excellent location for viewing the panoramic view of the Three Gorges Project. It is divided into three layers from top to bottom in ascending height. It is mainly composed of the model exhibition hall, Wannianjiang bottom stone, Dajiang diversion stone, Three Gorges dam site foundation stone, silver version of the heavenly book and Tanziling viewing platform. There are also spectacular fountains, beautiful waterfalls, winding streams and verdant lawns running through it. Standing on the viewing platform, you can not only have a panoramic view of the majestic Three Gorges Dam, but also see the "Fourth Gorge of the Yangtze River" with a thousand-foot-high wall, the two-way five-level ship lock, the beautiful scenery of Huangniu Rock in Xiling Gorge and the distant view of the new county of Zigui. The entire scenic area comprehensively displays the long-standing Three Gorges culture and expresses the distinctive themes of the unity of man and water, turning water into benefit, and man conquering nature. It is an important place to understand the Three Gorges culture, appreciate the Three Gorges beauty, and promote patriotic education on the Three Gorges Project.

The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area is currently the only 5A-level scenic area that can be entered without paying for tickets. It is said that it used to charge admission, but when the Three Gorges Project recovered its investment cost of more than 200 billion yuan, the scenic area implemented a free ticket system and only charged a tour bus fee within the park, 35 yuan per person.

The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest hydroelectric power station and the largest engineering project ever built in China. The dam is a concrete gravity dam, 2,335 meters long, 115 meters wide at the bottom, 40 meters wide at the top, 185 meters high, and a normal water storage level of 175 meters. The dam can withstand a once-in-a-million-year flood, with a maximum discharge of 100,000 cubic meters per second. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station has a total of 32 700,000-kilowatt turbine generator sets and two 50,000-kilowatt power units, with a total installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts, far exceeding the world's second-largest Itaipu Hydropower Station in Brazil.

The Three Gorges Dam is generally worth a visit. Although I don’t understand it, it’s still quite shocking to see such a great national weapon. Let’s focus on transportation. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Individual tourists can take a bus from the city to the Yemingzhu Bus Station and take bus No. 216 or 8 to the Three Gorges Dam Visitor Center. At the bus station, just buy a ticket to the Visitor Center. Don’t buy a boat ticket. The so-called boat tickets are all travel agency tickets for one-day tours. When you arrive at the Visitor Center, you must buy a 35-yuan tourist transfer ticket. After entering the scenic area, don’t buy a 10-yuan or 20-yuan battery car ticket. The distance of the battery car is very short, so it’s better to walk around. The transfer bus from 185 to the Jieliu Memorial Park in the scenic area is included in the 35-yuan transfer ticket, so there is no point in taking a battery car.

The Three Gorges Hydropower Station, also known as the Three Gorges Project and the Three Gorges Dam, is located on the main stream of the Yangtze River between Chongqing City and Yichang City, Hubei Province, China. The dam is located in Sanduping, not far upstream of Yichang City, and forms a cascade power station with the Gezhouba Hydropower Station downstream. It is the largest hydropower station in the world and the largest engineering project ever built in China. The hydropower station dam is 185 meters high, the water storage height is 175 meters, the reservoir is more than 600 kilometers long, and 32 hydropower units with a single unit capacity of 700,000 kilowatts are installed. It is the largest (installed capacity) hydropower station in the world.

You can visit the Three Gorges Dam, overlook the dam area, and witness the miracle

It is a magnificent project and a world-class dam. It is worth recommending to go and see it. I heard that the scenery will be more spectacular if you catch the dam opening.

Today I participated in the Yangtze River Erba Yixia Tour. I met a beautiful tour guide Lulu who is beautiful inside and out. She is so nice👍. The explanation is very clear. She is very nice and treats the elderly very politely. She is really a good tour guide, a caring and careful girl. I had a lot of fun today because of you, Lulu. I like you five stars⭐️

It is magnificent and worthy of being the world's largest dam and hydropower station! It fully demonstrates China's national strength and the wisdom of the Chinese nation!

There is no bus stop sign. Remember not to listen to the locals. Use Amap to get to the train station and take Zigui 809-2 (get off at the riverside road for Zigui 809-2 and get on at the back door of the transfer center). Don't listen to the people wearing red armbands at the door. They were misled to the Yemingzhu Bus Station in the western suburbs. It's the largest dam in China!

First of all, you must take the scenic area bus. Don't take the local people on the roadside who will take you to see the dam for 20 yuan. They will not take you into the dam area. After entering the dam area, you can see the Three Gorges Dam up close and learn about my country's largest water conservancy project, which is of great scientific and educational significance. It takes more than 3 hours to play. It seems that the Three Gorges Dam needs to be booked in advance, otherwise it will be full and you will not be allowed to enter. You can make an appointment through the WeChat public account.

The high gorge leads to a calm lake, which is very shocking. I think about how great those people were who sacrificed their small families for the country.🇨🇳

Even if this super project built with the efforts of the whole country is not a good sight and no matter how controversial it is, you should still come and see what it is all about. There was an entrance fee back then, but now it seems that there is no entrance fee at all.

The Three Gorges Dam is indeed very majestic. In the scenic area, you can understand and feel the magnificent momentum of the dam from different angles. Seeing its double-line five-level ship lock is even more shocking. It is in line with the words of the great man: "High gorges lead to flat lakes, which should astonish the world."

The scenery is majestic, with clouds and mist, beautiful and dignified.

Looking at the magnificent dam and watching the flood discharge, I was really shocked. In addition, the new county of Zigui opposite seemed to be in a fairyland, very beautiful. The group tour customized by China-TravelNote was a very good experience. I learned a lot from the tour guide's explanation.

The most boring scenic spot in Yichang, bar none. It really is the most boring. I came here and found a guide to go to this parking lot for 20 yuan, and bought a ticket for Gaoxia Pinghu for 150 yuan. I originally planned to buy a ticket for the two gorges and one dam after the fun. The ticket inspection was very casual, and the entrance was also very casual. I thought it was this big boat, but it turned out to be a two-story boat. It was too extreme, and I was speechless instantly! You can see the picture above. By the way, it costs 20 yuan to go to the second floor. It's really shameless to charge. The scenic spot should also improve its hygiene. Mops and other things are thrown everywhere.

The highlight of the trip to Yichang is visiting the Three Gorges Dam.

The entire dam area cannot be entered casually, and an entry permit is required.

The Three Gorges Project can be roughly divided into two parts, one is the dam body, and the other is the five-level ship lock. It takes a long time for a ship to pass through the five-level ship lock. If you are in a hurry, you can take the "elevator" - the newly built automatic ship lock.

I felt the charm of "a calm lake emerging from a high gorge".

The mountains are beautiful and the waters of the Yangtze River are rolling in...

The traffic guidance for self-driving during the festival is very detailed! Vehicle management is also part of the safety measures! Great!

The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area is located on the hillside of Jiulongwan on the south bank of the downstream of the Three Gorges Dam, about 1 km away from the Three Gorges Dam. It is inconvenient to take a bus and transfer. We went with a tour group to save effort. We were disappointed after seeing it. It was not as beautiful as what we saw on TV.

One of the first national AAAAA-level scenic spots, it is located in the middle of Xiling Gorge. Here, the magnificent and beautiful natural landscape and the world-class cultural landscape complement each other, and the spectacular beauty of "cutting off the clouds and rain of Wushan, and the high gorge leading to the flat lake" has also been presented to the world. As the core scenic spot of the new Three Gorges tourism, it is based on the world's largest water conservancy project-the Three Gorges Project, and fully displays the engineering culture and water conservancy culture. The scenic spot has three parks, namely Tanziling Park, Interception Memorial Park, and 185 Park, which are regular open parks.

Most of the people who come here are elderly groups, which is not suitable for us young people.. Hahahaha

Looking closely at the dam, you can clearly see the components of the dam, and the viewing platform is also well designed.

Sigh! Sigh! Moved! It feels great! It's worth a visit!

The 185 Viewing Point is located at the left bank of the Three Gorges Dam road. It is named because it is as high as the Three Gorges Dam, with an altitude of 185 meters. The majestic dam extends from here to the south of the Yangtze River, cutting off the entire Yangtze River. Standing on the platform and looking down, it is like being on the top of the dam. You can feel the height of the dam, which is very spectacular.

If you look at the Three Gorges Dam from the outside, you may not feel its majesty. It is really shocking to climb up to the top of the dam. The 5-level ship lock is also amazing.

I bought a ticket to the Three Gorges Dam on the bus at Junyao Square, and added a round-trip ticket to Tanziling. If I didn't take the boat, it would be 75 yuan. I just followed it like a fool. I don't know if it was sunny, but it was still very comfortable during the light rain. Compared with some scenic spots, it is very standardized. The tour guides in the scenic spots explained very loudly. I guess there are fewer smiles on their faces due to repetitive work every day, but it's still hard work. It is recommended to walk to 185. You can look at the propaganda columns along the way and learn about the knowledge points of the Three Gorges, which will be more rewarding.

The high gorge leads to a calm lake, the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains have also withdrawn from the historical stage in the historical development trend of man conquering nature. Tanziling and 185 steel and concrete have created the glory of the new era of the great power's heavy equipment.

This viewing platform is basically level with the Three Gorges Dam. From here you can see the grandeur and magnificence of the Three Gorges Dam, as well as the beauty of the high gorges and flat lakes.

The scenery is still OK, but it was too foggy the day I went there, so I couldn't see the whole picture of the Three Gorges clearly, which was a bit regrettable. We booked tickets on the official website, 35 yuan per person, and took a taxi to Yemingzhu at 9 am and took bus No. 8, 15 yuan one way. We didn't join a tour group. Please note that when you get off at Yemingzhu, someone will ask you if you want to join a tour group. If you are an individual traveler, go directly to the bus station to buy tickets, not outside. I also suggest not to take the battery car in the scenic area, it is not worth it, and the rich can do whatever they want.

It's just big projects, big projects, big projects, big projects.

The 185 viewing platform of the Three Gorges Dam is an important attraction in the Three Gorges Dam. 185 is the height of the crest of the Three Gorges Dam. Visitors can go through a security entrance and watch this world's first water conservancy project up close.

The Three Gorges Dam is free for Chinese citizens, and the tour guide did not charge us for the tour bus. There is a section in the middle that takes 10 minutes, so it is not tiring to stroll around, and the rest is picked up by bus. It is recommended that those who come to see the dam do not take the scenic area bus.

We were traveling by car, and we needed to apply for a temporary pass for our car. There were many fake places to apply for it on the road, until we finally found a formal place to apply for it. In one sentence, we can summarize our experience (this pass is free, all places that charge money are fake, the place that you see in the photo I took is the right one) The third picture is the completed registration form

If you want to experience the world's largest dam, you can go and feel its grandeur.

The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area includes Tanziling, 185 Observation Platform, Interception Memorial Park and other core attractions. It is a must-see attraction in Yichang. You can see the most magnificent water conservancy project in China and even in the world, and learn about interception and dam construction, flood discharge, still water navigation, dynamic water power generation, etc. It is true that the cost of building a dam is huge, and whether the Three Gorges Dam should be built is still a controversial issue.

The Three Gorges Dam is located in Sanduping Town, Yichang City, Hubei Province, China, 38 kilometers away from the downstream Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project. It is the main project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, the world's largest hydropower project, the core landscape of the Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area, and the eastern end of the Three Gorges Reservoir.

⚠️The dam attraction is a bit tricky, and there are many black tour guides on the road.

1. When you take bus No. 216, the driver will stop at a small blue sign. When you get off the bus, a black guide will say he will explain it to you for free, and then he will start to deceive you by saying there are three routes, A, B, and C, just to trick you into paying for a boat ride.

2. There is also a big blue sign with "Three Gorges Dam Visitor Center" written on it. The arrow points to the right. The correct way is to go in the opposite direction of the blue sign, that is, go left to reach the real Three Gorges Dam Visitor Center. Don't trust the blue signs. The tourist guide signs are all green.

3. The woman got a little nervous when she saw us walking in the opposite direction of the big blue sign. She was obviously in a bad mood. At first, I was just a little surprised by her reaction and didn't think much about it. I was almost fooled. Fortunately, my mother was sober and led us to the right way. Now I think she has too many flaws.

On Route 216, there will be ticket sellers who will try to trick you into buying a boat ticket. When you get off the bus, there will be another person who will try to trick you. Anyway, they will all try to trick you into buying a boat ticket. Don't believe any of them. Just buy a bus ticket for 15 yuan per person on Route 216, get off the bus and buy a through ticket for 35 yuan per person at the real tourist center.

There are escalators in the park, so you don’t need to take a cruise ship, you can just stroll around and enjoy the scenery of the dam.

One-day tour of the Three Gorges, two gorges and one dam, take a boat to the tourist bus and return. The scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River is very beautiful. I passed by the Three Gorges people on the way, and it felt ordinary. The artificial landscape has too much commercial atmosphere. The Three Gorges Dam is indeed spectacular

The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest water conservancy project. To be honest, it is not as stunning as I imagined, but the public services are very good. Although there are many people, the order is very good.

It takes a short walk from Tanzilin Park to the 185 Viewing Point. It takes about ten minutes overall, and there are no uphill or downhill steps.

My travel notes in Yichang

[Still on the way] Water reaches this point and becomes flat, mountains reach this point and become high http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/6245804.html?h=23528238

The dam project is quite spectacular and magnificent. However, when we visited it, there was too much fog over the dam and we couldn't see it clearly.

The platform is located at an altitude of 185 meters. Let's take a quick look

Feel the grandeur of the Three Gorges Project. It is a must-see when visiting the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River! It is still worth a visit!

The scenic area does not charge admission, but you need to make a free reservation on the official website of the Three Gorges Dam one day in advance, but you need to pay 35 yuan for the bus in the scenic area. You can only watch the majestic dam and lock, the lock viewing platform, the 185 park from afar, and there are loquat trees along the way, haha.

It would be great if you could encounter a flood when you go there, the scene must be spectacular

The Three Gorges Dam is located in Yichang, Hubei Province, China, 38 kilometers from the downstream Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project. It is the main project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, the world's largest hydropower project, the core landscape of the Three Gorges Dam tourist area, and the eastern end of the Three Gorges Reservoir. The Three Gorges Dam, the end point of the Three Gorges tour, also puts a full stop to this trip to the Three Gorges, fully demonstrating the power of human beings.

Different people have different opinions. It is just a project, and greening has been done around the project, which is not bad, but I think this project has changed the original appearance of the Three Gorges, and many scenic spots have been put in the water, and the majestic Three Gorges have been castrated. As for its pros and cons, time will prove it. I just regret that I didn’t see the magnificence of the old Three Gorges before the dam was built. The Three Gorges cruise I took can pass through the five-level ship lock in person, which is okay to take a look. If it weren’t for the free attractions of the cruise ship, I wouldn’t go to the Three Gorges 185 platform to see it. It’s not worth spending more than 200 yuan to take a look at a man-made project. But this free attraction is available on all Three Gorges cruise ships, regardless of the cruise number.

The 185 viewing platform is as high as the top of the Three Gorges Dam, 185 meters above sea level. You can clearly see the various functional areas of the dam and experience the majestic momentum of the dam, "a flat lake emerging from a high gorge". It is recommended to learn about the relevant knowledge in advance, otherwise, although you will experience the magnificence, it is still easy to be confused.

The Three Gorges Dam doesn't seem as grand as I imagined, but I still have to go there~

Get off at the East Station, take a taxi for 30 yuan to Yemingzhu Station, transfer to bus 8 for 15 yuan one-way to the transfer center of the dam scenic area, and book a ticket to the scenic spot online in advance for 35 yuan. The food on the first floor of the visitor center is terrible and extremely expensive. I suggest you don't be fooled. There are also snacks in the scenic area. The scenery in the scenic area is good, the environment is beautiful, the dam is very imposing, and it is good to take pictures from different angles. The river is too calm, and I am generally satisfied.

The Three Gorges Dam is a magnificent project, rarely seen in the world, but whether it will ultimately bring more blessings or disasters to mankind remains to be verified by future generations.

Standing here, I feel so insignificant.

The dam is magnificent, a flat lake emerges from the high gorge, the lake water is clear, and flood control, power generation and navigation benefit the people.

185 Viewing Point: 185 Viewing Point is located at the left bank of the Three Gorges Dam top road. It is named because it is as high as the top of the Three Gorges Dam, with an altitude of 185 meters. Standing on the platform and looking down, you can feel the majestic appearance of the dam up close and appreciate the magnificent scenery of the high gorge and the flat lake.

A world-class project. Only by going there can you feel the wisdom of contemporary people. It is good. I recommend going there. I recommend the local guide. He is very responsible and told us a lot of stories about the Three Gorges Project. She is a nice Tujia girl. Her phone number is 1867161980

The 185 viewing platform is the closest place to the Three Gorges Dam that tourists can reach. It is different from Tanziling to experience the Three Gorges Dam up close.

We were taken there by our intern teacher. It was really spectacular to see the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River from the dam, with a very broad view. Although the weather was bad, the impact was still very strong.

When I went to visit my relatives, they took me there to see the sights. We took a cable car and the tour guide explained the principle of how the dam opens to allow ships to pass through. When we got to the riverside next to the dam, we saw the magnificent sight of the Yangtze River rushing down from the dam.

Now the Three Gorges are free of charge, and the entire industrial tourism environment has become more beautiful and complete, with more attractions. When I went there, I joined a temporary tour group for 100 yuan, and was picked up from my accommodation and taken to the Three Gorges.

The tour route is to take the scenic bus at the transfer center of the scenic area and arrive at three scenic spots in turn: Tanzilin, where you can overlook the dam; Platform 185, where you can look straight at the dam; and the Diversion Memorial Park, which will give you a feeling of looking up.

The second stop of the visit was to go to the 185 platform, which was named because of its altitude of 185 meters, and it is the same height as the top of the dam. Here you can see the Three Gorges Dam from a closer distance, the upstream side, and the Three Gorges Reservoir. Unfortunately, the weather was not good.

The Three Gorges Dam is in full view from the 185 viewing platform, and the natural beauty is breathtaking

The cruise ship stopped far away from the Three Gorges Dam, and we got off the ship and took the dam arranged by the cruise company to the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area. A very spectacular man-made building.

This is the fifth-level gate of the Three Gorges Dam. We will pass through the dam through here at night. I heard it will take nearly 4 to 5 hours.

The Three Gorges Dam is very spectacular, and the boat tour experience is quite good

The 185 viewing platform is the second stop of the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, located at the nearest position to the dam. Since you cannot go up to the top of the Three Gorges Dam, the 185 platform is also the nearest position to observe the Three Gorges diversion. From Tanziling, go down along the winding mountain road, walk through a section of flat land, and walk for about 15 minutes to reach the 185 platform. The 185 platform itself is just a high platform built on the side of the dam, 185 meters above sea level. There are paid viewing views on it, which is the best place to observe the river water being blocked upstream of the Three Gorges Dam. The 185 viewing platform can be said to be the most important viewing platform of the Three Gorges Dam. If you encounter the gate opening to release water, it will be even more spectacular.

The sunset was beautiful. We were lucky to see it.

There aren't any big sights to see, so just go there to broaden your horizons and see what the Three Gorges Dam looks like.

The "elevator" that transports small boats up and down is 185 meters high and has a complex mechanism. It sounds so magical and you can't help but marvel at people's wisdom.

You can enjoy the scenery on the upstream side of the dam. There is a battery car at the entrance of the scenic area for 10 yuan per person. Because the weather was hot and there was no shade, everyone took the car. It is said to be a 20-minute walk, but when I came back to look at the map, it seems that the route of the battery car is a long way around. The nearest passage should be only about 300 meters. You can choose it yourself. This attraction does not take a lot of time. Just take a photo at the back of the dam. The bus is waiting in the parking lot at the exit of the 185 platform scenic area. After the visit, I bought an old popsicle and returned to the car to prepare for the return trip.

The complexity, construction difficulty and importance of the Three Gorges Project are not described here. CCTV has reported a lot. There are also many opinions on the Internet about the side effects of the Three Gorges Project on the ecological environment. Everything has its pros and cons. Although there are mixed reviews, when you are in the Three Gorges Project tour, you will really sigh from the bottom of your heart that this is really a very great and huge project!

Here you can clearly see the entire Three Gorges Dam and the huge stone pillars for ships to dock, and you can also overlook Zigui New Town.

Due to the influence of commercialization, folk customs are no longer simple and honest. Maybe this is just my personal opinion. Maybe your arrival will be better. I hope so.

The Three Gorges Dam is the greatest project in the world. It has benefited the Chinese people and the people of the world. The route is to drive from Yichang to the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, buy tickets, and transfer to the tourist bus of the Sanxian Scenic Area to visit the Three Gorges Dam. First, we visited one side of the Three Gorges Dam to see the Three Gorges graded dam, understand how the ship came from the upstream to the downstream level by level in the Three Gorges Dam, and then watched part of the Three Gorges Dam. The so-called high gorge produces a flat lake. The water drop on both sides is so large, but it is so peaceful and serene. Then we crossed the Xiling Yangtze River Bridge to the Interception Memorial Park on the opposite bank, where it is the best viewing point for viewing the panoramic view of the Three Gorges Dam. Buy a ticket for a sightseeing bus and tell the driver directly to see the dam. After a while, you will arrive at the nearest place of the Three Gorges Dam in the Interception Memorial Park. The feeling cannot be described in words. The long and magnificent dam, the flowing water raises bursts of water. Very beautiful and spectacular. If you come to Yichang for a tour, you must not only visit the Three Gorges landscape, but also see the Three Gorges Dam.

It's not bad, especially when it's flooding, it's very spectacular, but it doesn't happen every time, it depends on luck...
