Three+Gorges+Dam

=Return to My China=

The Three Gorges Dam was a massive production. Along the river we saw the markers showing how high the water level would go when the water was released. The farmers along the river would plant crops on the riverbanks each year while the river was down.

There seems to be a lot of concern about the environmental damage but that was not shared with us. We were told stories about floods and the dangerousness of the river.

This Dam is the pride of the Chinese. It has been referred to as the modern Great Wall of China. media type="youtube" key="T2JMVxnMqxU?fs=1" height="405" width="660" align="center" [|Channel 4 News on Project]
