Three Gorge Dam
by darthmilmo
My lost stop along the Chiang Jiang (Yangzi) River Cruise was at Yichang. At that point I disembarked from the boat and headed by bus to the Three Gorge Dam Construction (visited during 2001). This is set to be the largest dam in the world when completed in 2009. There is more info on this sight at my Yichang page.
See the Giant Panda and Dazu Grottoes

Before taking a Yangtze river cruise, you will visit Chongqing, where you can also see the Giant Padas, and one of the World's Heritages - the Dazu Grottoes. Chongqing is a mountain city with long history. I will be happy to answer your questions about this city and about the Yangtze river and the Three Gorges. I work in a big travel agency. I may help you get the "agency net rate" if you want to book a Yangtze cruise, and hotels in Chongqing and Wuhan also.
