Yangtze River Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area

Three Gorges Dam Tour Route:

Take a bus from the Visitor Center - Tanziling (view the dam from a high place) - Platform 185 (closest to the dam) - take a bus to the River Interception Memorial Park (view the dam on the other side of the Yangtze River) - take a bus back to the Visitor Center

Get off at the dam visitor center. 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 one of the greatest human constructions in the 21st century. If it weren't for the continuous construction of China's infrastructure in recent years, I would think it is the best. It is worth seeing. You must listen to the explanation of the guide, so that you can deeply understand the greatness of the Three Gorges Project.

The Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area is located in Yichang City, Hubei Province, in the middle section of Xiling Gorge. It is based on the Three Gorges Project, the world's largest water conservancy project. It displays engineering culture and water conservancy culture in all directions, and provides tourists with multifunctional services integrating sightseeing, science and education, leisure and entertainment. It organically combines modern engineering, natural scenery and cultural landscape, making it a tourist destination yearned for by friends at home and abroad.

The Three Gorges Dam is synonymous with magnificence. Whether you look down at the dam from Tanziling, stand on the 185-story platform at the same height as the dam, or look up at the dam from the hydrophilic platform of the River Diversion Memorial Park, it is difficult to fully appreciate its full view. Its upstream is the beautiful scenery of "high gorge and flat lake", and its downstream is the picturesque new Xiling Gorge.

The Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area is located in the Three Gorges Dam area of Yiling District, Yichang City, in the middle section of the Xiling Gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It is divided into Tanziling Park, 185 Park and Interception Memorial Park. Relying on the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest water conservancy project, the tourist area fully displays engineering culture and water conservancy culture to tourists, integrating sightseeing, science and education, leisure and entertainment, and perfectly combining modern engineering, natural scenery and cultural landscape. Visitors can experience the Three Gorges Project from all angles and feel this miracle in the history of human engineering.

The Three Gorges Dam is a national treasure. Now there is no entrance fee for the Three Gorges Dam, only a transfer bus fee of 35 yuan per person. The scenic area generally takes 2.5-3 hours to visit.

Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area - Introduction to the three major attractions:



1. Tanziling Scenic Spot: It officially began to receive Chinese and foreign tourists in 1997. It is named because its top viewing platform resembles an inverted jar. The location of the scenic spot is a dam construction survey point, with an altitude of 262.48 meters. It is a place to enjoy the panoramic view of the Three Gorges Project. Not only can you appreciate the majestic Three Gorges Dam, but you can also watch the "Fourth Gorge of the Yangtze River" with a thousand-foot-high two-way five-level ship lock. The entire park is divided into three layers from top to bottom with increasing height. It mainly consists of the model exhibition hall, Wannian River bottom stone, Dajiang interception stone, Three Gorges dam site foundation stone, silver version of the heavenly book and Tanziling viewing platform, as well as spectacular fountains, beautiful waterfalls, winding streams, and green lawns running through it. Looking around, there is movement in stillness and stillness in movement, as if you are in a wonderful paradise.

2. 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.

3. The Interception Memorial Park: This was once the place where the "Heart to Heart" Art Troupe performed. Today, with the careful construction of planners, the once barren place has been completely renovated and has become the viewing portal of the Interception Memorial Park. With the green mountains behind and the dam in front, while appreciating the natural scenery of the Three Gorges, you can also enjoy the magnificence of the towering dam and the soul-stirring feeling of the dam's flood discharge.

The Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area, located in Yichang City, is a large-scale water conservancy hub project and hydropower station. It is a water conservancy and hydropower project with multiple development goals such as flood control, power generation, water storage, and ecology. The Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area currently opens Tanziling, Platform 185, and Interception Memorial Park to tourists. The three parks respectively appreciate the majestic momentum of the Three Gorges Dam from three perspectives: overlooking, looking straight, and looking up. The tour route is Tanziling~Platform 185~Interception Memorial Park. Tanziling Park is the commanding height of the Three Gorges construction site and the best location to view the panoramic view of the Three Gorges Project. Take the scenic shuttle bus of the Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area to the top of Tanzhiling. There are outdoor elevators throughout the journey, and the elderly, weak, women and children can easily climb to the top of the dam to read. The second park is Platform 185, named after its altitude of 185 meters. Platform 185 allows you to look at the Three Gorges Dam, feel the majesty of the dam, and appreciate the wide water surface upstream of the dam. The third park is the Interception Memorial Park, which is located downstream of the Three Gorges Dam. Here you can look up at the dam and once again sigh at the greatness and difficulty of this project. The stone wall of the West River cuts off the clouds and rain of Wushan, and the high gorge leads to a flat lake. The Three Gorges Dam tourist area does not charge admission for the time being. It is said that foreigners have to pay admission to visit the Three Gorges Dam. It is worth recommending!

Great value, very great value, when my wife told me that the bus fee was only 30 yuan, and the scenic spot was free, I was shocked. Conscience.

It’s still far from the dam and doesn’t look very spectacular.

Take a cruise to Zigui, the last destination of the tour is the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest water conservancy project

The Three Gorges Dam is worth a visit if you haven't been there. After all, it is a world-class project. I think it's enough to check in once.

The dam has a nice view, but there is a restaurant with a bit expensive fish

No tickets are required to visit the Three Gorges Dam, but a transportation fee of 35 yuan per person is required.

It is not convenient to go to the Three Gorges Dam without buses, but fortunately there is Didi. The Three Gorges Dam is the first in the world.

Good, dream away, God damn

There's nothing to see. Have I come to the wrong place?

It is quite grand and different from other scenery. It is nice to see and feel it.

The one-day tour of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is generally good and worth a visit.

The Three Gorges Dam is the largest water conservancy project in the world today. The dam has five parks: the Three Gorges Exhibition Hall, Tanziling Park, 185 Park, Near-dam Park, and Diversion Memorial Park. Among them, Tanziling, 185 and Diversion Memorial Park are open to tourists on a long-term basis. From Tanziling, one can overlook the dam and the Yangtze River; the flood discharge viewing area and the viewing area at the 185-meter water level are magnificent and powerful.

Magnificent and spectacular, made in China, created in China, the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese working people!

The biggest dam is worth seeing. It's a normal viewing platform. It's a pity that you can't go to the top of the dam.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in June 2013, my wife and I took a New Century Cruise from Yichang and toured the Three Gorges route. The Three Gorges Dam was the first stop of the tour. It was very magnificent and worthy of being called the project of the century.

Big, really big. Spectacular! There were many people during the National Day, but it was not chaotic. There were tens of thousands of people in the scenic area, and it felt like they were quickly digested. In addition, the parking lot is really big! There are many parking spaces, and the parking fee is only 5 yuan. The small fish they sell are also quite cheap, 5 to 18 yuan.

It is not as spectacular as I imagined from a distance, but after listening to the introduction, I feel it is very special.

Such scenic spots still need explanations, otherwise you won't be able to see what they are all about. The tour guide first took us to the model exhibition hall and gave us a general idea. We finally had a superficial understanding of this world's best. "Generate electricity on both sides, release floodwater in the middle; large ships use stairs, small ships take elevators; dynamic water generates electricity, static water allows navigation." This is a summary of the entire Three Gorges Dam, which makes us feel the greatness of human wisdom and the hard work of the builders. It is a great achievement for the present and will benefit future generations.

The Three Gorges Dam has now waived the entrance fee, and there are only three tour prices: the first is a luxury cruise ship tour of the high gorge and flat lake, 180 yuan; the second is a car tour of the dam scenic area and Qu Yuan's hometown, 100 yuan; the third is a car tour of the dam scenic spot, this is only 35 yuan. I personally recommend the second option, after all, Qu Yuan Temple is also a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national 5A tourist attraction, which is worth a visit. The scenery of the Three Gorges Dam from the front and back is different, so you must go and see both.

Flood control, power generation, and navigation are the three major functions of the Three Gorges Dam, but they are not available in tourism. The flood discharge should be the most spectacular. I felt it up close and clearly distinguished the five-level sluice gates, the ship lift, and the dam. I learned a lot.

This is a military restricted area, so vehicles and tourists entering the dam must undergo strict security checks. Currently, there are three viewing platforms open to tourists: Platform 185, Tanziling, and the downstream interception memorial park. And there is no need for tickets, just buy a scenic spot ticket.

"A stone wall was erected on the West River to cut off the clouds and rain on Mount Wu, and a calm lake appeared from the high gorge. The goddess should be fine, and the world today is special." The original natural magnificence has been transformed into the high gorge and calm lake today. It is currently the flood season, and we can see the spectacular sight of the dam opening its gates to release water.

I originally thought that the Three Gorges Dam was just a dam, but it was not. We went from the Interception Memorial Park and Tanziling to the 185 Observation Deck. The whole tour took about 2 hours, and we learned about the design, structure and operation of the Three Gorges Dam from different angles. Compared with the Gezhouba Dam, the Three Gorges Dam is much more spectacular, and there is even a special elevator for small boats, eliminating the trouble of queuing. It is said that it takes 3-4 hours to pass the lock normally. At the 185 Observation Deck, we saw the main building of the dam up close, and we were lucky because it was discharging floodwater that day, which was very spectacular.

National architecture is one of the must-see attractions for Chinese people.

If you want to see the Three Gorges but don’t want to spend money, I suggest you find a place to park along the river. I got off at an abandoned substation. There was a gap, and below was the Yangtze River. Not far away was the Three Gorges Dam. . . . .

Magnificent and magnificent! It is shocking, like the mighty river flowing eastward.

The best in the world, it is worth a visit. It is recommended to join a local one-day tour group, which is a good experience and the tour guide is professional.

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.

Our leaders visited the Three Gorges a few days ago and spoke highly of the Three Gorges. It is free to visit the Three Gorges, especially for bringing children to understand our country’s great project.

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.

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 Three Gorges Dam project consists of two parts: the main building and the diversion project. It is about 3,335 meters long and 185 meters high. The total investment is 95.46 billion yuan. Construction officially started on December 14, 1994 and was completed on May 20, 2006. (Baidu data)

Yichang is a city with well-developed transportation, but there is no bus stop to the Three Gorges Dam. If you don't ask the locals, you don't know where to wait for the bus. The worst thing is to go to Yemingzhu Square and transfer to bus 216 or 8. The ticket office next to the bus station is obviously where the black tour guides hide! Remember to only buy tickets. Buy a 35 yuan ticket for the area at the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area Visitor Center! The Three Gorges is a water conservancy project that represents the highest level in the world. Once you see the Three Gorges, you will never forget it.

The Three Gorges Dam is still worth seeing, mainly Tanziling and Platform 185. There is a passage leading directly to the Three Gorges Dam from the Qu Yuan Temple. There are several sightseeing elevators in Tanziling that go up to a hill and overlook the Three Gorges Dam. It is mainly three stones and a book, one is the diversion stone, one is the foundation stone, and one is the river bottom stone. The book is a silver version of the Book of Heaven. Large and small tonnage ships are separated, large ships take the stairs, and small ships take the elevator. The five-level ship lock is the stairs mentioned here, with a height difference of more than 100 meters, which is breathtaking and dazzling.

There is no entrance fee to visit the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, but you need to buy a section ticket, which costs 35 yuan. If you drive yourself, ignore the reception along the way, because you have to pass the checkpoint before entering the scenic area. There is a vehicle registration office 50 meters before the checkpoint. After registering the vehicle information, you can enter the scenic area. After parking the car, go directly to the visitor center to buy a section ticket. The tour time of the dam scenic area is about two hours. Due to the rain, the upstream and downstream ships all pass through one lock.

The Three Gorges Dam is one of the few conscientious scenic spots in China. It only charges tickets to foreigners, and is free for Chinese (transportation to the scenic spot is charged as usual). The weather was not very good on the day we went there, and it didn't seem to be as magical as the legend said. The children were a little disappointed.

The Three Gorges Dam is a cultural landscape. I followed the tour guide and listened to the tour. In fact, I personally felt it was very boring.

Considering the cost of travel, we rarely spent money to buy tickets to the scenic area, so when we arrived at the Three Gorges, we just climbed up the small hillside by the road to look at it from afar. Such a spectacular project is actually more suitable for viewing from the outside. This is my friend’s favorite place on this trip. I think the scenery upstream is better. I have never seen such clear water in the Yangtze River. It is really a picturesque scenery.

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 largest hydropower project in the world today, the core landscape of the Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area, and the eastern end of the Three Gorges Reservoir. The Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, a thousand-year project, is very spectacular and worth a visit!

After entering the scenic area, take the scenic sightseeing bus to Tanziling and 185 Observation Deck ~ You can have a bird's eye view of the Three Gorges Dam ~

The terminal of the cruise ship where you get off the water, because you take the boat lift, you can observe it up close, it's really amazing. And it's very beautiful

The entire journey from Yichang to the Three Gorges Dam is about 40 kilometers. You need to drive on the Three Gorges Expressway. Maybe it was because of bad luck. The weather here has been gray and it feels a bit depressing. At the entrance of the expressway, we learned that we would miss the last transfer bus to the scenic area, but we still planned to drive over to try our luck. After arriving near the scenic area, we met many locals who took us to the mountain near the dam at a price of 50 yuan per car, so we could get a close view of the dam. Perhaps we had too many "majestic" and "spectacular" expectations for the world's largest hydropower project (Three Gorges Dam), and we were inevitably disappointed after seeing it. Maybe it was the lack of the vivid picture of the river water gushing during the flood discharge and the embellishment of blue sky and white clouds.

As the world's largest and long-awaited Three Gorges Dam, the Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project is worth the trip. The two dams are less than 40 kilometers apart. The Xiling Gorge, the only part of the Three Gorges of the old Yangtze River that retains its original appearance, is located between the two dams. I witnessed and experienced the entire process of a 10,000-ton passenger ship passing through the Gezhouba Dam through the ship lock. In just over a quarter of an hour, the passenger ship safely sailed from the upstream of the dam with a drop of more than 20 meters to the downstream. It's amazing! [grin] Yichang is worthy of being the hydropower capital of China

It is world-renowned as the engineering masterpiece with the largest power generation and installed capacity, and is a must-visit attraction in Hubei!

China's famous water conservancy project and hub, magnificent and majestic!

A magnificent project! A miracle of mankind!!! You must go and see it

There is an elevator, which is great. The Three Gorges Dam is spectacular. We drove directly there and got a pass after getting off the highway. It was very powerful. It is divided into three places, the Interception Park, 186 and another one called something.

On January 27, 2018, my family traveled to Yichang and chose the Three Gorges Dam cruise. On that day, Yichang encountered a once-in-a-decade heavy snowfall, and many scenic spots were closed, including the Three Gorges Dam. We could only look at the dam from afar.

A world-class project with beautiful scenery and wonderful experiences.

It is a huge water conservancy project. I give a thumbs up to the bold idea at the time and also admire the builders. It is beyond our imagination how many difficulties they overcame.

The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area does not require tickets, but you need to buy a transportation ticket (sightseeing bus fee) for 35 yuan. Tanziling Scenic Area is the core area of the dam. After getting off the bus, tourists take the escalator to a high platform. There are two ship lock routes. One is the upstream route to Chongqing. The water level of each ship lock is higher than the previous one. When the ship passes the first and enters the second level, the first gate is closed. Turn into the second ship lock. The water level rises slowly and the ship is lifted to a certain height and then starts to pass the third gate. The second gate is closed. Just go up one level at a time and enter the wide Yangtze River after passing the fifth gate. The process of lifting the ship at each gate takes about 30-40 minutes. Three large ships can be moored in each gate at the same time. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to pass all five gates. The 185 platform is mainly for viewing the back view of the dam. There is also the process of a small boat taking the elevator to pass the dam. 185 is not the depth of the water, nor the date, but the altitude of the place. The Interception Park is a park next to the river, with good greenery. There are shovels and forklifts used in the construction of the dam, triangular stones used in the construction of the dam, caissons for loading stones, etc. There are also statues of the dam builders. This is a memorial park. The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area has been visited. The whole journey took more than five hours. This is really a perfect water conservancy project.

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.

No matter how you look at it, it is a major project for our country, and each of us has contributed to it.

One of the top ten national projects! It is magnificent and spectacular! Unfortunately, I came at the wrong time and didn’t see the spectacular sight of flood discharge!

This October, I went on a one-day trip to Yichang to visit the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area. The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest water conservancy project, and I have long wanted to come and see it. Friendly reminder, you must buy a battery car ticket. To be honest, the two dams are not very spectacular from a distance, and I couldn't feel the shocking scene. I regretted going there. Haha~~ Take some photos as a souvenir.

Whether the Three Gorges Dam is good or bad, time will tell. However, someone has to take responsibility. We should give praise to the decision-makers for their courage, and even more so to the immigrants who made great sacrifices for the Three Gorges Project...

Going to the Three Gorges Dam is to see this super project that makes our country proud. If you are traveling by yourself, you can take a bus from Yichang City to Yemingzhu Bus Station, buy a ticket from the bus station to the Three Gorges Dam, get off at the Tourist Transfer Center, and then walk to the Tourist Transfer Center. (Tickets can be booked in advance on the official website, so just pick up the ticket after booking). With the ticket, you can take the scenic bus. The first stop is Tanziling, where you can overlook the dam. After visiting Tanziling, you can take a bus to the next attraction. In fact, the Three Gorges Dam is really spectacular, more than 100 meters above the water level of the Yangtze River, haha. There are separately paid sightseeing buses in the scenic area, and you can choose whether to take them according to your physical strength. After the tour, you can go to the bus stop opposite the tourist center to take a bus back to the city!

The main purpose of going to Yichang is to visit the two dams and one gorge, namely the Three Gorges Dam, Gezhouba Dam and Xiling Gorge, so I chose to stay near the most convenient Three Gorges Passenger Terminal. The Yangtze River flows slowly in the night, and the Yiling Bridge is beautiful in the night. The Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba Dam are both located upstream of Yichang. The preferred tourist project is the two dams and one gorge. You can directly book the next day's itinerary online, which is divided into two types: car to ship return and ship to car return. Including car fare, bed fee, lunch, insurance, and tour guide. After the experience, it feels relatively cost-effective and formal. Arrive at the pier at the agreed time in the morning. The vehicle will pick up people at the main street and station, and then drive to the Three Gorges Dam after passing the Three Gorges Checkpoint. Only scenic vehicles can be taken in the Three Gorges Dam area, mainly including Tanziling, 185 Platform and Interception Memorial Park. Because of the rain, I didn't see the panoramic view of the Three Gorges Dam. The Three Gorges Dam is not as majestic as I imagined. Take a boat down the river from the Three Gorges Dam and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the western section of Xiling Gorge. Green mountains on both sides of the river flow eastward, streams and waterfalls flow into the Yangtze River from the valleys, and passenger ships, cargo ships and cruise ships sail on the river. Although I only traveled a small section of the Three Gorges, I felt the incomparable beauty. The cruise ship arrived at Gezhouba and experienced the process of ships passing the dam. After the upstream ship entered the dam lock, due to the large difference in water levels upstream and downstream of the dam, the lock was sealed and began to release water. When the water level was flush with the downstream water level, the downstream lock was opened. The principle of passing the lock of the Three Gorges Dam is the same, but due to the larger difference in water levels, the entire lock passing will last for several hours.

Lao Fuzi's "The Past Over a Thousand Years · Clouds Half Exposed on the Green Mountains" - Yangtze River Three Gorges 1985·8 (shot with a point-and-shoot camera) "Golden Threads" The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are a turbulent road, a life of passion, and a time of spring. The joyful cruise ship sails away with the wind, breaking through the waves with bursts of light and rain. Sighing with a smile, the green mountains are half exposed to the clouds, and the sandalwood heart sings "Golden Threads". Looking at the clouds and mountains and the river from afar, the sun and the moon shine brightly and cannot be counted! September 17, Dingyou Year

The Three Gorges Project is the largest water conservancy project in China and the world, and is a key backbone project for the management and development of the Yangtze River. The normal water storage level of the Three Gorges Project reservoir is 175 meters, with a total storage capacity of 39.3 billion cubic meters; the reservoir is more than 600 kilometers long and has an average width of 1.1 kilometers. The reservoir area is 1,084 square kilometers. It has comprehensive benefits such as flood control, power generation, and shipping.

The Three Gorges Project was completed in three phases, with a total construction period of 17 years.

Objectively speaking, it is not as spectacular as I imagined, perhaps because I had too high expectations. It is now free to visit and the service is good.

The Jieliu Memorial Park is worth a visit, but the other two viewing angles are average.

Yichang Zizaiju B&B, 300 square meters duplex, glass greenhouse, roof garden, overlooking the night view of Yichang. 13469870859, looking forward to your visit! !

The magnificent Three Gorges Dam is a glorious milestone in my country's water conservancy construction! It is a great honor to have the honor to leave my footprints in the Three Gorges.

If you haven’t been there, you must go there, and if you have been there on a rainy day, try to go there again!

The scenery is very good, with high gorges and calm lakes. That was the real goal of the trip to Hubei. It met expectations.

The Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, the Little Three Gorges, is where you can take the elevator for small boats and climb the stairs for large boats. The scenery is very nice

The dam is very spectacular and fully reflects the wisdom of the Chinese people.

Haha. It's just a blink of an eye. Everything is still vivid in my mind.
