It is the main project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, 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 diversion project, with a total length of about 3335m and a crest elevation of 185 meters. The total investment of the project is 95.46 billion RMB.?

construction was officially started on December 14, 1994 and the whole line was successfully constructed on May 2, 26.

The Three Gorges Dam is located in Sandouping Town, Yichang City, Hubei Province, China. It is 38 kilometers away from the downstream Gezhouba Water Control Project, and it is the main project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, the core landscape of the Three Gorges Dam tourist area and the eastern end of the Three Gorges Reservoir, which is the largest hydropower project in the world today.

Extended information

The main benefits of the Three Gorges Dam are:

1. Power generation:

The huge discharge and gap of the Three Gorges make the power generation of the Three Gorges Dam rank first in the world, and the value created by power generation alone is amazing. The pollution of hydropower generation to the environment is much smaller than that of the traditional power generation mode.

2. Shipping:

The Three Gorges Dam is beneficial to the traffic in the surrounding backward reservoir areas. After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, the water level rises and some dangerous beaches are submerged. The waterway has been widened, and the fleet of 1,-ton ships can directly reach the rivers and seas, forming a golden waterway of the Yangtze River, which is a good opportunity for development along the Yangtze River and exported to coastal areas.

3. Flood control:

The Three Gorges Dam can effectively control floods, and the floods in 1998 are still fresh in everyone's memory. Every rainy season, the rainfall in the Three Gorges area is heavy and unevenly distributed, and it is very easy to cause major floods in some areas. The huge adjustable capacity of the Three Gorges Dam effectively relieves the downstream pressure, controls the flood and ensures a lot of property and personal safety.

4. Others:

The Three Gorges Dam is also of great benefit to China's "South-to-North Water Transfer Project", aquaculture and improvement of regional climate.
