Volume 2 Chapter 23
After nearly 100 years of dreaming and half a century of debate, the Three Gorges Project can be described as ill-fated. But in any case, a large-scale, majestic building in the world was miraculously born on the land under our feet. Now please join me on a tour of the Three Gorges Dam, the proof of this legend. The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area is located in Yichang in the western part of Hubei Province, which is the sub-central city of Hubei Province and a famous hydropower tourism city in the world. The Three Gorges Project, Gezhouba and other large-scale water conservancy projects were built here. At the same time, Yichang is also an important area for the development of Chu culture and Ba culture, integrating historical culture and modern engineering, natural scenery and cultural landscape, and is an excellent tourist city in China and the best destination city for tourism in the Three Gorges.
The Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area, as the name suggests, is a tourist attraction that relies on the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project of the Yangtze River to display the engineering culture and water conservancy culture in an all-round way. The Three Gorges Project is a large-scale water conservancy project in China and the world, and a key project for governance and development.
Tourists and friends, today we are going to visit the three scenic spots of Tanziling, 185 Observation Deck, and Interception Memorial Park. What we are looking at now is a 1:1250 miniature model of the Three Gorges Project, which reflects the landscape of the dam area after the full completion of the Three Gorges Project in '09. Let's confirm where we are now! Of course, it is Tanziling, the origin of its name is because its mountain shape resembles the Sichuan people to make kimchi jar upside down on the top of the mountain, the altitude is 262.48 meters, as long as you climb the top viewing platform of Tanziling, you can overlook the whole picture of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam area, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xiling Gorge Huangniuyan and the prospect of Zigui New County. The blue water flow on the model represents the Yangtze River, how to distinguish between the left and right banks of the Yangtze River? Standing along the river, your right hand direction is the right bank, which is commonly known as Jiangnan, and on the other hand, the side you just came to is the left bank of the Yangtze River, that is, Jiangbei, and your back is the direction of Yichang, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Now you can get out of the model room and take a look at the huge book of heaven here - the daguerreotype of the book of heaven. I can tell you without exaggeration that it is the biggest book in China at the moment. Everyone saw that the book had been opened, and it recorded the relevant introduction of the Three Gorges Project. Now you can climb Tanziling to experience the whole view of the dam for yourself.
Tourists and friends, everyone is welcome to take our sightseeing bus to the next scenic spot 185 viewing platform, because of its high altitude of 185 meters, so named 185 viewing platform. It is the same height as the crest of the dam, and from the left-hand side it is the front of the completed barrage. The closest thing to us is the construction site of the vertical ship lift. From your right-hand side, you will see the Three Gorges Reservoir, which has reached a water level of 165 meters. The normal storage level of the dam is 175 meters, which is 10 meters above our feet. Now we get off the bus and have an unobstructed view of the back of the dam and the magnificent view of the high gorge out of Pinghu. Here you can look down down at the flood scene up close, and the thunderous torrent is trampled underfoot. The barrage dam, double-line five-level locks, vertical ship lifts, power station buildings on the left and right banks, and underground power plants on the right bank have jointly created this brilliant Pearl of the Three Gorges. Therefore, standing in this area, which is the best of many projects in the world, the pride and pleasure in my heart are really beyond words!
Tourists, we are about to arrive at the last attraction, the Interception Memorial Park. If you say that in Tanziling, the 185 observation deck looks at the Three Gorges Dam and the flood gate, which is breathtaking, and the song is to go east of the river; Then to the Three Gorges Interception Memorial Park is full of lyricism, reciting historical witnesses. Now, please join me on another tour to reminisce about this great history.
The Memorial Park is a comprehensive park with the theme of showing the spectacular scene of the interception, which was completed and opened in 1995 in the Three Gorges Dam area. It is the first water conservancy project theme park in China with the theme of interception of the Three Gorges Project, integrating sightseeing, popular science, performance, leisure and other functions. The scenic spot you see covers an area of 93,000 square meters with an investment of more than 30 million. The scenic area is divided into four areas, including the entrance area, the variety show viewing area, the site exhibition area and the amusement and rest area, and is composed of more than a dozen landscapes such as the interception record wall, the performing arts square, the hydrophilic platform, the phantom imaging, the large-scale mechanical exhibition field, the climbing tetrahedron, and the flat throwing boat. The interception of the flow is the most exciting scene of the construction of the hydropower project, and the memorial park of the interception of the flow of the Yangtze River officially follows the theme of the interception of the Yangtze River, and reproduces this naturally amazing feat of transformation. The Three Gorges Interception Park embodies the spirit of the cultural theme of the interception of the river in which man conquers the sky and the unity of man and nature. In the landscape design of the whole park, the theme of interception shows the distinctive image characteristics of the Yangtze River, dams, and projects, and creates a unique heritage landscape effect of water conservancy projects. As much as possible, the first-class engineering piles and objects on the original site have been retained, as you can see: the partition wall used to support the stacking of sand and gravel, more than 100 tetrahedron left over from the interception of the flow, and large construction machinery such as 77-ton loading and unloading trucks and flat throwing ships. Now you see the four big characters written in golden font "interception reproduction" is our interception reproduction screening room, which uses modern high-tech phantom imaging technology to intuitively and vividly reproduce the interception of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Do you look at these as if you are in the hot construction scene? The completion and opening of the Three Gorges Interception Memorial Park seems to reflect the cultural connotation of the Three Gorges Project, adding a beautiful scenery to the Three Gorges tour, as everyone can see, not only makes our eyes enjoy, but also allows us to have a certain understanding of the history of the dam.
Tourists and friends, after reading these historical witnesses reproduced by interception, everyone should have a lot of emotion and emotion in their hearts! Then let's quietly end our visit today with this emotion and emotion! Although there is a lot of reluctance to say goodbye to everyone after this short acquaintance, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and I look forward to meeting you again. Thank you for your cooperation and cooperation during the tour, and if there is anything wrong in the process, I hope you will give me valuable advice and let me learn to grow from you. Finally, I would like to send my most sincere wishes: I wish you all the best in the future! Woe to the waters
