The Midway Inn is a very interesting inn, and this inn is also an inn with the most foreign travelers, and it is very famous among foreign travelers.

There is a balcony called "Cool You", and there is also a toilet that is recognized as "the world's first toilet".

The halfway inn is located in Local Bay, and his guest room is facing the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and when you open the doors and windows, you can see the thirteen peaks of the Jade Dragon as if you are within reach. And when you are full at night, you can go to the "Cool You" balcony to drink and chat, and look at the starry sky is very pleasant.

It is worth mentioning that the owner of this inn is very fluent in English, and Yang Jing has no difficulty communicating with him in English. And there are really a lot of foreign travelers in this inn, and the chatter is so lively.

As for the scary "No. 1 toilet in the world" in this inn, it is not a casual talk. Whose toilet can face the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?

At the door of the public toilet, there are two wooden signs, one of which reads, "Under the east window, see the jade dragon leisurely." The following is "the first toilet in the world", and the inscription is "Chivalrous Travel".

On the other wooden plaque, there are words "the first toilet in the world" and "world recognition", which makes people laugh.

This world's first toilet was first discovered by Gege. After Yang Jing and the others finished eating in the evening, Gege went to the toilet and found this toilet with a lot of breath, and then, Yang Jing and they all experienced the style of this "first toilet in the world" - all of them are stinky, and this will not make you smell when you poop because it is the first toilet in the world......

The next day the rain stopped, but the weather was still not clear, but the visibility was quite good. This kind of day when there is no scorching sun is perfect for hiking.

Walking on the path carved out of the cliff in the middle tiger leaping, climbing over the iron ladder that is almost straight up and down dozens of meters high, condescending to admire the Jinsha River under the hundreds of meters, and overlooking the majestic vicissitudes of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it really makes people have an impulse that can't help themselves.

Shouting at the sky and the river to vent the impulse in your heart will feel extraordinarily refreshing.

At noon, the four of them did not go to the inn to eat, but sat in a condescending place, looking at the invincible scenery, eating the food they brought, and taking small sips of beer, which felt really refreshing.

"The scenery here is so good, if you hadn't come in person, you really wouldn't have imagined such a beautiful view. Gege sighed, and Yang Jing and Sun Aoran nodded one after another.

Sun Aoran said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful place so close to me, if I knew that this place was so beautiful, I should have come to see it a long time ago." ”

Zhao Shuang shook his head and said, "Now that you can see the beauty here, do you know that this famous Grand Canyon is now facing the cruel prospect of disappearing?"

"Disappear?" Gege looked at Zhao Shuang with a surprised expression, "Earthquake?"

Sun Aoran also said: "I do know that if I walk a little further down, I will be able to see the famous scenery of the high gorge out of Pinghu Lake, as if it was the 1996 Lijiang earthquake, when the Haba Snow Mountain landslided, where a dammed lake was formed, and at the same time formed an excellent scenery." But that year's earthquake didn't destroy Tiger Leaping Gorge, and I really can't think of anything else that could make Tiger Leaping Gorge disappear. Unless there is a major earthquake of 8.0 on the Richter scale or above. But it's better not to be like that, that kind of earthquake is too scary. ”

Zhao Shuang glanced at her boyfriend and said, "Is it only an earthquake that can destroy Tiger Leaping Gorge?" ”

Sun Aoran was stunned for a moment, and then asked with an incredulous face: "You mean the hydropower station?"

Zhao Shuang nodded, "That's right, it's the hydropower station that almost destroyed Tiger Leaping Gorge." ”

After a pause, Zhao Shuang said faintly: "In fact, there is something about the construction of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Dam, which caused a series of incidents at that time and even in the past few years. I remember at the beginning of the new century, when I was young and in elementary school, there was news that someone wanted to build a dam in the Jin'anqiao generation in Yongsheng. ”

Sun Aoran patted his head and asked in surprise: "Jin'an Bridge, isn't that not far from our construction site?"

Zhao Shuang nodded in agreement, "At the beginning of the last century, I don't know where the news came, saying that the country has determined that the Tiger Leaping Gorge Water Conservancy Project is listed as one of the major projects developed by the country in the near future, and that the difference between the top and bottom of the Tiger Leaping Gorge is as high as 196 meters, which is an ideal hydropower base. Starting from the first bay of the Yangtze River, all the way to the Yabi River estuary in Panzhihua, the Jinsha River, which is more than 560 kilometers long, has a drop of up to 838 meters, and can be built into a cascade hydropower station of 'one reservoir and eight levels'. ”

When Sun Aoran heard this, his brows immediately furrowed. As a power builder, as soon as Zhao Shuang said this, he immediately realized that although this plan was good, the damage to the environment was quite powerful.

Sure enough, Zhao Shuang continued: "In that era, our country was developing faster and faster, and the demand for energy was getting higher and higher. Due to its low operating costs, fast returns and high returns, hydropower has quickly become a high-quality investment project sought after by major banks. And grabbing spheres of influence is also a strategy of China's major state-owned power companies. Among them, Tiger Leaping Gorge, which has natural and excellent geographical conditions, has naturally become the first choice for major state-owned power companies. ”

Among them, Yanjing Huarui Group, a private power predator from Yanjing, set its sights on Jin'anqiao. According to the design of Huarui Group, the construction of the Jin'anqiao Dam began in 2002 and the Jinsha River was intercepted by 2005. In those years, Lijiang's annual financial income was only about 200 million yuan, but if the Jin'anqiao Hydropower Station was repaired, this hydropower station alone would be able to increase Lijiang's net income by 400 million yuan a year! Therefore, at that time, the Lijiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government warmly welcomed and attached great importance to the Jin'anqiao Hydropower Project of HuaRay Group, taking it as the number one project, and giving the green light to this project from top to bottom. ”

"But the fact is that the fifth-level hydropower station in the planned 'one reservoir and eight levels' has not been approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the National Development and Reform Commission. Even after the Jin'anqiao dam broke ground, the talent of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Environmental Protection was shocked that the project, which had invested more than 10 billion yuan, had not been approved by the relevant authorities. ”

"Our local residents are fighting for the construction of the dam, and although the construction of the Jin'anqiao dam will not have a big impact on the Tiger Leaping Gorge, who can guarantee that once this fifth-level dam is built, there will be no one who will continue to covet the Tiger Leaping Gorge upstream of the Jin'an Bridge?"

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "After the protest of our locals, and the fact that the Jin'anqiao Dam is indeed an illegal project, this project has dragged on for several years. But unfortunately, our struggle was so powerless in the face of capital, and in the end the dam was approved by the state and officially put into operation. However, fortunately, Jin'an Bridge is still some distance away from Tiger Leaping Gorge, and the construction of Jin'an Bridge Dam did not cause a catastrophic blow to Tiger Leaping Gorge. ”

"However, the success of the construction of the Jin'anqiao dam has also allowed those power groups to see the benefits, and now, near Xiazha Ri, downstream of Xiahu Jump, the construction of the fourth-level dam of 'one reservoir and eight levels' will begin. Compared with the Jin'anqiao Dam downstream, we don't know what kind of impact this dam will have on the Tiger Leaping Gorge and even the first bay of the Yangtze River upstream once the dam is built. ”

"But it is estimated that if the dam is built, it will at least raise the water level of the river within 200 kilometers upstream of Tiger Leaping Gorge, and 200,000 acres of high-quality arable land will be submerged, and 100,000 people will be relocated." As for Tiger Leaping Gorge, it is probably impossible to preserve the spectacular scenery it has now. At that time, it will be a huge reservoir!"

Gege was also a little anxious when he heard this, "Then can the country bear to let the Tiger Leaping Gorge and the first bay of the Yangtze River disappear under the water like this? Why would the country let such a thing happen?"

Zhao Shuang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's still uncertain about this matter, but we locals have been fighting against this matter, but we don't know what the outcome will be." So, since you're here today, let's take a look at this place, and maybe when you come here again in a few years, you won't see the scenery again. ”

Several people fell silent.

What Zhao Shuang said is the truth, and even now you can clearly see the dam under construction in the lower reaches of Tiger Leaping Gorge from the satellite map. No one knows what will happen to the dam when it is actually built.

Alas, when has this been, and the country doesn't seem to be short of energy, right? How can such a dam, which destroys the ecological environment, be allowed to be built here?

A Three Gorges dam has made the Three Gorges no longer have the scenery of the past, and the series of hydropower stations on the Nu River have also turned the Nu River into a series of pearls.

This sudden topic made several people's hearts a little heavy, and they didn't even have much interest in playing.

It's not that the dam can't be built, but the most important thing is whether the dam will cause a devastating blow to the local ecology and whether this world-famous tourist attraction will disappear completely.

While building a dam to develop the economy, it would be best if the local scenery could be kept safe and healthy. There should be a way to get the best of both worlds, but it's not something the four of them can control.

The tour of Tiger Leaping Gorge certainly shocked Yang Jing and them, but the sudden topic on the last day made the trip somewhat heavy.

After saying goodbye to Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang, Yang Jing and Gege drove back to Spring City. The two of them had been out for a week, and now it was time to go back and get ready for the engagement......
