Welcome to Hubei Province!Today I am very pleased to show you Three Gorges of Yangtze River.At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, the biggest river in China,the third longest in the World, starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World —Qinghai—Tibet Plateau,takes in countless rivers, and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an overall length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River, next only to the Amazon and the Nile, is the third biggest river in the world and is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation.When the Yangtze River reaches the eastern SichuanBasin in southwest China, it cuts through the Wushan Mountain. Here the river course suddenly narrows and the waters become turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep mountains rise on either side, creating one of nature's most fantastic sights. The Three Gorges———Qutang, wuxia and xiling————start just after Fengjie and end near Yichang, stretch about 200 kilometers. The Gorges vary from 300metres at their widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest.Qutang Gorge is the smallest and shortest Gorge, but grandest of the three. The Yangtze River, mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like a thousand seas poured into one cup, as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo described the spectacle. High on the both bank, at a place called Bellows Gorge, are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of an ancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices, some containing bronze swords, armour and other artifacts, but the coffins are believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period (475bc————221BC)Wu Gorge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based strange—shaped mountain peaks, eachof which has a reputation based on a beautiful legend. The story of the Peaks of Wushan goes like this: nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how perilous Wushan Gorge was, they decided to stay there to protect ships. As time went by, they transformed themselves into peaks. The Goddess Peak, the most graceful of the , is said to have been yaoji, the youngest daughter of the Queen mother of the Western Heaven .Goddess Peak stands out from the other peaks on the northern bank to be the first to greet the morning sun and the last to bid it farewell, hence its another name, Viewing the glow Peak. Seen at a distance, it resembles the silhouette of a beautiful young lady.Down stream from the zigzagging Wuxia Gorge is Xiling Gorge which stretches 78 kilometers eastward and the cliffs on either side rise to just over 900 meters. Xiling Gorge is awesome with its dangerous rapids, shoals, reefs,sharp turns, billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Gorge in the east consists of several small gorges. On the top of another is a rock that looks like a sword. On the crag of the north bank are two pieces of brownrock, which are named Bull's Liver and Horse' Lung, whose shape they take. Next does the Lantern Shadow Gorge, which has four rocks, resemble Monk Xuan Zang and his three disciples———Monkey, Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures.Around the last bend of Xiling Gorge stretches a vast plain. The river suddenly becomes wide here. Travelers on the Yangtze cruise may also visit many sites of historical and scenic interest along the river banks including the ruined of baidi Town and Precious Stone Village.Everyone knows that the Yangtze Gorges are changing since the well—known Three Gorges Dam Project is being built at Sabdouping, Yichang, Hubei Province. The dam is 181 meters in height. Its construction investment comes up to 203.9 billion rmb, equals to 24.65 billion U.S. dollars. The installed power generation capacity is expected to be 18.2 million kilo watts. With the dam built, the flood in the Yangtze River valley will be controlled, navigation improved besides the economic benefits. Tourism will be little affected. Many cultural and historical relics are now being removed to a higher ground before the rise of thewater level approaches.Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has gone very quickly and your trip is drawing to a cl ose.

Hi, here are your room cards and r emember we’ll meet at the gate at 8:00 tomorrow morning, we will visit Three Gorges Dam.Hi, good morning, You look better than yesterday. Now collect your belongings and get on the bus. Hello, we ‘ll visit the Three Gorges Dam. It may take you half an hour bus from the Yichang urban to the dam area. Let me tell you something about it, The Three Gorges Dam is the first5A-class tour sites in Yichang and has been listed as one of the first national demonstrations on industrial tourism. As the world largesthydropower project, the Three Gorges Project is located at the Zhongbao Island near Sandouping in Yichang, and about 37 km away from the Gezhouba Hydropower project in the downstream. The whole construction is completed according to the plan of “first class development, complete construction, reservoir by stages, and continuous immigrants”. Thetotal construction period lasted for 17 years including three phases. The first phase was from 1993 to 1997; the second phase was from 1998 to 2003; and the third one is from 2004 to 2009. The total investment is estimated to be RMB 203.9 billion Yuan. The reservoir will submerge about 1.1318 million people to immigrate to higher place. When this project is finally completed, the reserved water level will reach 175 m, with total reservoir capacity of 39.3 billion cubic meters.Tanzi Ling (Peak Crock) Scenic SpotHere we are the top of the Dam area, the Tangzi Ling (PeakCrock),with a height of 242.48 m. And we can overlook the general of Three Gorges Project and Dam Area.The name is from its shape of upside down crock. It’s said that in the ancient time, when Da Yu led people dredge the watercourse and fought against the flood, he was too involved to enter the door even when he passed his home third times. With the help of magic bull, he excavated 200-km watercourse. In order to thank his achievement, people sent him 24 pigs and a big crock of wine by boat. When the boat reached Sandouping (the Project site), they saw the magic bull going away on clouds and leaving its image in mountains, where was called the Bull Rock later. Hastily, Da Yu followed the bull, leaving a big rock for memory. People were deeply moved by whathappened, and kept the boat waiting in the river. Later, the boat turned into an island, called Zhongbao Island. 24 pigs were down into the river turning into 24 reefs. And that big wine crock was set in the left bank turning into now called Tanzi Ling.The Model Hall of the Three Gorges Project 模型室On the Tanzi Ling, we first visit the Hall of the Project Model, where shows the whole mini construction of the Project. And there we can view real part of the Eternal Riverbed Rock, the Sill under the Dam and the Damming Rock. Then we climbed the peak top and overlook the overall appearance of the Three Gorges Project.These models lay out the complete project with a scale of 1:850. As the largest one in the world, the Project with large installed capacity and huge engineering scope will bring out marked and integrated benefits. With13 tops in the world, this project is not only for flood control but also giving great benefits to the later generations, showing great role in comprehensive national strength increase of China.The Project body consists of the main dam, generation stations and navigation building. The concrete gravity main dam is about 2309 m in length and 185 m in height. And the dam top width is 15 m, while the bottom one is 124 m. The discharge dam is in the middle of the Main Dam, while power generation stations are in both ends. The 483-meterdischarge dam consists of 22 overflows and 23 deep overflows,functioning as flood discharge and sludge remove.The generation stations are in the both ends of the main dam. 14 generators are installed for left generation stations, while 12 forright ones. With 700 thousand kW capacity for each, the installed capacity will reach 18.2 million kW and 84.7 billion kW/h each year, which accounts for 1/9 of the nation total and is 5.3 times of the Gezhouba project’s total.The navigation buildings consist of two-way 5-stage ship lock and ship elevator. The ship lock is 6442 m in length and 300 m in width,with two way and 5 stages. And it is divided into 10 rooms, 280 m in length and 34 m in width for each, with minimum water depth of 5 m; the fall between upstream and downstream is 113 m, suitable for 10 thousand tonnages ships. But it takes almost two and half hour to pass throughthe lock. Therefore, the ship elevator is designed for fast navigationfor medium and small ships below 3000 tonnages. The elevator containeris about 120 m in length and 18 m in width, with minimum water depth of 3.5 m. And it only needs 30-40 minutes for these ships to pass through the dam.Eternal Riverbed Rock万年江底石This is a riverbed rock. It’s granite, with weight over 20 ton. Commonly we call it the “Eternal Riverbed Rock”. Actually, it’s over 0.8 billion years old. From this rock, people get to know the very past of the Yangtze River. Now, on the rock, we can see some bore holes,which were left by the geologists and the hydropower s when investingthe dam site. And this rock was originally excavated from the footing groove of cofferdam['k?f?,d?m] during the 2 phase constructionperiod.The Damming Rock 截流石This is the damming rock, a double sized model. We put it here to make it a symbol of the spirit of water controlling. The real rock is triangle tetrahedro, with each side length of 2.5m, and weight of 28 ton. In 1981, rocks used for damming the Yangtze River at the GezhoubaProject were just half the size. This shape was approved by the modern technology as the best to fight against the rip current. When throwninto the water, its sharp edge cuts into silt to make it stable in the flow. So rocks of this shape, representing the modern hydro technology, have been applied for both Gezhouba Project and Three Gorges Project.The Sill under the DamThis columned rock pillar is a sample of the sill under the dam. Before the construction, there used to be an island, Zhongbao Island, in the center of Yangtze River. And this rock was drilled out from the rock formation under the island. Been considered and approved over 70 years, the Yangtze Three Gorges Project site was finally set at the Zhongbao Island. And now, this island is disappeared. So this rock shows both memory and witness for the great Three gorges Project.The great Embossment浮雕群This embossment is called “the headstream breeding the life”. The big copper plate embossment in the front looks like a generating wheelin water, and 3 strong men are rotating it hand, representing a spirit that the world is living on the water. On two sides of the copper embossment, there is a tiger and a phoenix telling the specific geographic location and the cultural background of the Three gorges Project because the Chu People adored the phoenix while the Ba people adored the tiger. The commanding tiger and the illustrious phoenix are the best representatives of the people in the Three Gorges to tell the world their dreams of the dam. Please take a careful look at the both sides, the figures on the top right side are a modern man and the legend Da Yu. They are lapping over each other to show two Chinese characters, the “big” and the Man”. With a sill rock core in hand, the modern man represents the advanced hydropower technology. A shovel in hand, thelegend Da Yu tells the long history of the Chinese fighting against the floods. The background here is the great scenery of the dam construction. Starting from the left, it also shows the sceneries of the great immigration movement, the industries of the stockbreeding and the shipping. There are characters like laborious women, lovely kids, andthe reliable husband. Dramatically, there are three fairies flying there in the sky. Together with the other fairies on the whole picture, there are 12 of them in total standing for the 12 peaks among the Wu Mountains. Turn to look the figures at the bottom; the leading character is a young lady together with a fairy. The flowers and fruits symbolize the sweet love and the happy ideals. Meanwhile, the plant, animals, and fishes in the background are telling the environment of the Three gorges. Thefigure of the Easter Pearl Tower, the Shanghai Port, and the buildingsin the bund areas signify the contribution that this project will makefor the region along the mid and the down stream of the Yangtze. Additionally, some other figures are also show in the picture like the fairies playingmusic, dance of the Ba People, the thousand-hands Kwan-yin, and etc.Echoing with the figures in the front, the central embossment in the back is the legendary that the magic bull helped Da Yu excavate the gorges. On both of the tow sides, there are the paintings of the gorges and the waters. In the gorges, there is an ancient picture showing the poor boatman, the boat trackers, and the people plunged into an abyss of misery, which tell you the worst living condition of the people in the ThreeGorges region in ancient times. On two sides, there are the sun, the moon, the Polaris, and the Big Dipper, composing a small celestial body. The flowing water splashing on the grass links together the figure ofthe whole embossment to show the strong culture connotation of the union of the space, the earth, and the human.Sightseeing Platform on Tanzi Ling坛子岭观景台Here we are the sightseeing platform at the top of the Tanzi Ling, and here is the best place to view the entire construction site. Firstly, we ca see the main dam, where was former main navigation route. And next to the south bank is the 3 phase site of the Three Gorges Project, where will set the right bank generation stations. Please look at the further city at the mountainside of the opposite bank, it’s the new city ofZigui County. The reserved water has submerged the old city. Andnational government chose the mountainside as the new city site, and kept 30 thousand immigrants from places below the 175-meter water level. And look to the downstream, you will find the entire construction of the permanent ship lock. So here is the place “when standing at the top summit, we will see how sm all the surroundings are”.185 Sightseeing StandThe so called 185 sightseeing stand is the start place of the main dam, which got the name from its height of 185 m. Now we are here, and I will give you a brief introduction to this main dam.Firstly, please allow me to ask you a question: how many dams have been finished in the world? Maybe we all know there are too many, but no exact numbers. From the material aspect, all these dams can be sorted in two types: one is earth rockfill dam made from earth, grit and rocks; and the other is plaster dam made of rocks or concretes. And the Three Gorges Dam is the latter one.Before, we said this dam is concrete gravity dam, and now it belongs to plaster dam, why? Here plaster refers to bricklaying, tiling. And now the concrete has replaced bricks, with better reliability and operation.Although the section of this gravity dam is large enough for safety, it will also split off after a certain time for its high intensity. The cause is the adhesive of concrete dam, the cement. During thesolidifying process, the cement will release heat, especially in summer, this heat will cause high temperature; but the solidified dam will shrink and cool, if limited, the shrink will cause cracks. And large cracks are very dangerous for the concrete dam, so there must some coolmeasures for the concrete structure. The traditional measure was firstly from American. That is to add cool aggregate and ice while mixing the concrete and place water pipes inside the dam for water cool. As a r esult, the builders call this “Feed Ice and Water for Concrete Dam”.Sightseeing Stand at the Dam TopLadies and gentlemen, please look down the dam, the extra water or flood will discharged by this discharge dam at the middle of the main dam. The discharge dam is 483 in length, consisting of 23 deep outlets,22 overflows and 22 bottom outlets. The bottom outlets have been submerged since the first water reserve in June of 2003.Normally, the speed of the water column from the deep outlet can reach 110 km/h, even 120 km/h when eater level equals to 175 m. Looking at this high speed water, maybe everyone would worry about the down stream’s safety if the dam was destroyed in war.The Three Gorges Project is located at the center of China main land, with dam height of 185 m, and total reservoir capacity of 39.3 billionm3. It can effectively control the flood and contribute to the economy and social development. If war took place in China, the Project would be one of main targets. So during the construction period, engineers were well considering its security. As early as October of 1958, former Premier Zhou Enlai established rules for dam security in details: With location in the central china and giant body, the concrete gravity damis strong enough for conventional arms except nuclear ones. However, there are certain measures in case of nuclear attack. Besides, approved by hundreds of model test, the downstream gorges and watercourse arelong and bend enough to decrease the flow speed and power. And later,the water will flow into bill areas where speed and power are decreased again. Then the water will be controlled in safe.In case of emergency, most water in reservoir can be empted to prevent main dam from break.Damming Memorial ParkThe damming memory park is located in the right bank of the main dam, covering an area of 90,000 m2. Here will take you back to the great historical damming moment by site remains show, scene play, video illustration, and historical records etc.Before, Chairman Mao Zedong descri bed the plan “To rebuild the steles, to remove the clouds among Wu Mountains, and make a lake among high gorges mountains”. And now, all these have come true. Followingthe steps of Da Yu, thousands of builders have dammed the Yangtze 3times within 37 km in Xiling gorge, and successfully built 2 main dams. And now, all of us can even image the complex technology and hard construction. But we are setting foot in this memorial park, sharingboth top records in the world and the theme of spirit for builders to work all out in heave struggle.This memorial park consists of material section, technology exhibit section, acting section, and tour & entertainment section. The material section is the former material site for construction in最新三峡大坝英文导游词Good morning, ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to China! Welcome to Hubei Province! Today I am very pleased to show you Three Gorges of Yangtze River. At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, the biggest river in China, the third longest in the World, starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World -Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, takes in countless rivers, and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an overall length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River, next only to the Amazon and the Nile, is the third biggest river in the world and is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation. When the Yangtze River reaches the eastern Sichuan Basin in southwest China, it cuts through the Wushan Mountain. Here the river course suddenly narrows and the waters become turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep mountains rise on either side,creating one of nature's most fantastic sights. The Three Gorges---Qutang, wuxia and xiling----start just after Fengjie and end near Yichang, stretch about 200 kilometers. The Gorges vary from 300metres at their widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest. Qutang Gorge is the smallest and shortest Gorge, but grandest of the three. The Yangtze River, mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like "a thousand seas poured into one cup", as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo described the spectacle. High on the both bank, at a place called Bellows Gorge, are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of anancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices, some containing bronze swords, armour and other artifacts, but thecoffins are believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period (475bc----221BC) Wu Gorge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based strange-shaped mountain peaks, each of which has a reputation based on a beautiful legend. The story of the "12 Peaks of Wushan goes like this: 12 nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how perilous Wushan Gorge was, they decidedto stay there to protect ships. As time went by, they transformed themselves into 12 peaks. The Goddess Peak, the most graceful of the 12, is said to have been yaoji, the youngest daughter of the Queen mother of the Western Heaven .Goddess Peak stands out from the other peaks on the northern bank to be the first to greet the morning sun and the last tobid it farewell, hence its another name, Viewing the glow Peak. Seen ata distance, it resembles the silhouette of a beautiful young lady. Down stream from the zigzagging Wuxia Gorge is Xiling Gorge which stretches78 kilometers eastward and the cliffs on either side rise to just over 900 meters. Xiling Gorge is awesome with its dangerous rapids, shoals, reefs, sharp turns, billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Gorge in the east consists of several small gorges. On the top ofanother is a rock that looks like a sword. On the crag of the north bank are two pieces of brown rock, which are named Bull's Liver and Horse' Lung, whose shape they take. Next does the Lantern Shadow Gorge, which has four rocks, resemble Monk Xuan Zang and his three disciples---Monkey, Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Around the last bend ofXiling Gorge stretches a vast plain. The river suddenly becomes wide here. Travelers on the Yangtze cruise may also visit many sites of historical and scenic interest along the river banks including theruined of baidi Town and Precious Stone Village. Everyone knows that the Yangtze Gorges are changing since the well-known Three Gorges DamProject is being built at Sabdouping, Yichang, Hubei Province. The damis 181 meters in height. Its construction investment comes up to 203.9 billion rmb, equals to 24.65 billion U.S. dollars. The installed power generation capacity is expected to be 18.2 million kilo watts. With the dam built, the flood in the Yangtze River valley will be controlled, navigation improved besides the economic benefits. Tourism will belittle affected. Many cultural and historical relics are now being removed to a higher ground before the rise of the water level approaches.最新三峡大坝英文导游词Yangtze River's Three Gorges(长江三峡)Ladies and gentlemen,I am very glad to be your tour guide here, before we start visiting the major spots, I would like to briefly introduce the three gorges.Three gorges comprise the most famous part of the Yangtze river. The three gorges stretch from nanjinguan of yichang in Hubei Province in the east to a village called baidicheng of the fengjie county in ChongqingMunicipality. The three gorges are named Xiling, Wu and Qugtang gorge are altogether 193 kilometers long. The three gorges are not only the highlight of the Yangtze river's scenery, but one of china's scenic treasures as well. The gorges are as famous an America's renowned Grand Canon and have been designated as a global landscape gallery. They have been appreciated by countless numbers of visitors, both from china and outside of china. The three gorges have also provided the setting for many poetic masterpieces written during all Chinese dynasties. Well, my friends. Now let us begin a journey to the spectacular three gorges.Qutang gorgeThe first gorge of the three gorges is called Qutang Gorge, which is also named the Kui Gorge. The Yangtze River suddenly narrows here and is only 100 meters wide in one place. There is Kui Gate(the entrance to the Qutang Gorge) at the Gorge;people said that the world's most majestic place is Kui Gate. The Qutang Gorge is only 8 km long and is the most dangerous of the Three Gorges. The current velocity of the river here is 8 meters per second, 20 kilometers per hour. Navigation in the canyon lane is very tricky and people are usually astonished as the boat threads its way through the gorge. The Qutang Gorge has many scenic spots, including the Mengliang Staircase, Armor Hole, and wind Gorge.

The project needs not only very strict requirements in technical aspect, but also the harsh demanding in project management. So this project meets the requirements of the course, which will help us understand senior project management intuitively and deeply by studying this case.Brief explanation of project objectives, proposed scope and key stakeholders;1:project objectives:(1) The benefit of Flood controlThree Gorges Dam’s primary objective is to reduce the losses anddamage by controlling the frequent and hazardous floods of Yangtze River(2) The capacity of electric power generationThe dam’s secondary benefits are producing cheap and clean electric power which is equivalent with 15 nuclear plants.(3) The benefit of shippingThe Gorges Dam project that has improved more than 600 km navigation mileages and increased the shipping capacity will accelerates the waterborne traffic and lower cost.(4)The function of drought resistingThree Gorges Dam of the huge storage can effectively ease the drought situation by adjusting the water release.2:Proposed scope:This project will form a huge reservoir which is 600 km long. The length of the dam crest is 3035 meters; the height of the dam is 185 meters. The ordinary water level is 175 meters with water storage of 39.3 billion cubic meters, of which flood control storage capacity is 22.15 billion cubic meters.3:key stakeholders:China Three Gorges Corporation which is the legal entity for Three Gorges Dam Project is in the charge of the State Council. Itsresponsibilities include the financing, constructing, operating and balancing the economy benefits and the environment protection.The Three Gorges Dam Project led to the biggest immigrant throughout our country history. Immigrants who lose their land and home were placed separately to 11 provinces from the reservoir region according to the principle of local settlement and relocated settlement.Outline of key success criteria and deliverables1. The criteria of flood controlFlood always causes more terrible impact in this region than others owing to its rich agricultural land and prosperous cities. There are some criteria for flood control of the dam. First, the flood control standard of this project should be upgraded to a level of preventing 100-year floods. With such flood coming, the dam can regular the flow which will not exceed 56700 cubic meters every second. Secondly, The Three Gorges project need to reduce the sediment by the scour of flood into the Dongting lake. Not only can we effectively mitigate the threat to Dongting lake, but also extend the life of the Dongting lake. Thirdly, it should strengths the flexibility and reliability of control flood to avoid terrible losses such as the destroy to Wuhan, the terminal of Jinghan trunk railways, and the damage to people and their property2.The criteria of electric power generationThe project has been predicted that 26 turbine-generator unitscan generate electricity in 2003.From then on, they can put 2.8 million KW every year. The dam should be able to product the energy for central and east of China to satisfy their need of reducing cost and accelerating the development of economy. What’s more, this benefit should gives impetus to replace the thermal power which used to be dominated in China by this kind of clean and green energy which can reduce large amounts of carbon dioxide and more than2 million tons’harmful gas emissions a year.3 The criteria of navigationThe significant criteria of navigation is accelerating the prosperity of waterborne traffic and lowering cost. For one hand, By the Three Gorges reservoir’s regulation, in dry season, the water release can get 5860 cubic meters per second which is larger than the amount of natural circumstances that ensure the ton fleet from Chongqing to Shanghai easily. For another hand, the completion of the dam will promote the standardization and aggregation of ship form because of the Yangtze River’s channel and water conditions improved. Shipping fuel consumption decrease to7.66 kg/km from 26 kg/km, and transportation cost lower 25% ~ 35% percent.。

The Yangtze Three GorgesThe Yangtze Three Gorges, one of the ten most famous tour sites of China, proudly stands at the top of the best 40 in China’s hottest scenic spots. Meanwhile, it also enjoys the reputation for one of the best 35 China’s king scenic spots and 16 special touring routes. Your steps into Yichang will take you to the greatest paintings of the elegant Three Gorges gallery. Though the Three Gorges Project reservoir began reserve water, the three gorges stand still with their elegance and verve. The Xiling Gorge is still deep and serene; the Wu Gorge is still beautiful; while the Qutang Gorge is still steep and magnificent. At the same time, the new Three Gorges bring you infinite new views. New sceneries created by the reservoir will add extra mysteries to you and make your trip rich and colorful.Yichang, as the door of the Three Gorges, is the optimal start place for the marvelous and attractive tour through Three Gorges.The Three Gorges consist of the Xiling Gorge, the Wu Gorge and the Qutang Gorge. And they extend over 193 km from Daidi Castle in the west, Fengjie county of Chongqing municipality, to Nanjin Guan of Yichang city in the east, Hubei province. It's the prime landscape along the Yangtze River, as well as the treasure of the China mountains and rivers. Through ages, the charming gorges have admired thousands of foreign and Chinese tourists whole heartedly.Now, distinguished friends, let's start the amazing trip through the Three Gorges.Xiling GorgeThe elegant Xiling Gorge starts from Guandu Kou of the Zigui County in the west, and ends to Nanjin Guan of Yichang in the east. Its total length of 114 km ranks the longest in the three gorges, among which 66 km is for gorges (31 km above dam, 35km below dam). The name “Xiling”, standing for “West Mountains”, came from its specific situation as it’s situated in the west of Yichang, and especially, it’s the west border of the ancient Chu State. These gorges become famous for dangerous and spectacular location. In Xiling Gorge, there are 3 shoals (Xie Shoal, Qing Shoal and Kongling Shoal) and 4 gorges (Dengying Gorge, Huangniu Gorge, Niugan Mafei Gorge, and Bingshu Baojian Gorge). Series of gorges and shoals make the water flow speedy and complex here. Ouyang Xiu of the North Son g Dynasty praised “the mountains and water of Xiling are the finest under heaven”. Marshal Chen Yi of P.R.C also praised “Xiling is the finest in the Three Gorges, and everyone will forget to return for thick delight”. From the ancient times, the boat trackers kept their living here for generations, dragging the boats upstream and fighting against the riptide. An ancient idiom saying “Boats hard to sail in Xiling, even ghosts are afraid of reefs” is the vivid description. After the completion of the Gezhoub a Hydropower Station, a big reservoir came into being in the upstream, which raised the water line andsubmerged those dangerous shoals. Additionally, after the foundation of the People’s Republic of China, the government dredged up the river way several times and destroyed many dangerous reefs. Thanks to all these actions, we can enjoy our safe and leisure touring through these beautiful gorges today.Nanjin Guan (the Nanjin Col)Nanjin Guan is the start point of the Yangtze Three Gorges, as well as the boundary separating of the upstream and midstream of the Yangtze River. After the ship sailing upstream through the Nanjin Guan, the width of the Yangtze River becomes sudden narrow from 2000 m to 300 m. It tells the beginning of your colorful tour in the beautiful painting of the Three Gorges.Dengying Gorge (the Shadowgraph Gorge)12 km west to Nanjin Guan, we will reach the Dengying Gorge (the Shadowgraph Gorge), which is also called “Mingyue Gorge (the Bright Moon Gorge)”. It’s a short but extraordinary gorge. The walls of the gorge are smooth and clean, just like having been polished carefully by Nature’s engineering. Being mirrored by the sky, the walls look like a lifelike traditional Chinese landscape painting. If you get here at night, the landscape in the moon light will show you a dreamland beyond words description. That’s the origin of another name, “the Bright Moon Gorge”. The Dengying Gorge, which means “the Shadowgraph Gorge”, got its name from the figure of the mountains. In the south bank, four peculiar stones look like four characters in the famous Chinese legend “Record of a journey to the west”. In sunset, when we look at them from the gorge, they are vivid like telling the story by the shadowgraph. So, the gorge here is also called “the Shad owgraph Gorge”.Li Siguang’s Tectonic FormationGet to Liantuo in the north bank of the Xiling Gorge by ship, you will find the geological section formed in the Cambrian period. In the Three Gorges, you can find kinds of mature stratum formed in every geological age from 2.5 billion years ago to 1 million years ago. The world renowned Li Siguang’s Tectonic Formation (the tectonic formation was found by the Chinese geologist, Mr. Li Siguang) was found here in the Xiling Gorge, which attracted strong interest from the world geology field. The formation was recognized as “the natural geological museum”, and “the living fossil” of the geological mechanical formation. You would obviously feel that time has brought great changes to the world when you visit the Geo logy Park and the Li Siguang’s Tectonic Formation.Xianren Bridge (the Sage’s Bridge)A few minutes while the ship goes west, in the north bank, we will see the Xianren Bridge (the Sage’s Bridge), a natural stone 1-meter-wide bridge spanning 15 meters on the mountain, where is the best place for enjoying the beauties of the Xiling Gorge. Whenyou stand there, everything in miles of the Xiling Gorge will be taken in a glance. It’s said legendarily that once upon a time, a fairy fell in love with a woodchoppe r. But, it’s impossible for the woodchopper to reach the paradise to meet the fairy. Then, the fairy threw down her band of the skirt and made the bridge to lead her lover. A poet of the Song Dynasty, Tian Jun wrote a poem for the bridge “Clouds mist on it; river roars under it; Boat stop here and ask; why can’t see fairies, but the empty bridge.” The statue of flying fairy was built to memory this lovely fairy.Huangniu Gorge (the Bull’s Gorge)Sailing 10 km upstream to the west, we will see a row of mountain crest in the south bank. 9 strips of green ridges droop downward sinuously, just liking 9 dragons rushing down to the river. The mountain crest is the Huangniu Cliff (the Bull’s Cliff), the valley under is the Huangniu Gorge (the Bull’s Gorge).The watercourse though the Huangniu Gorge zigzags like the intestine, and is full of interlaced submerged reefs. The river water swirls like the boiling water to make the sailing dangerous. “Morning set off in Huangniu, night anchor in Huangniu, 3 days and 3 nights are not enough for passing through Huangniu, days and nights, endless sailing drives hair grizzle.” An ancient ballad is the best description about the hard shipping condition in this part.Why the gorge here was name “Huangniu (the Bull)”? It came from an ancient story about Xia Yu’s contribution to flood controlling. It’s said that the God sent Xia Yu to the human world to dredge the river and prevent the flood. When he led people to excavate the river and reach here, the God sent a magic bull to help him. One day morning, a woman came here to sent water and food to workers. When she reached the river, she happened to see a giant and strong bull colliding the mountains. The mountain collapsed and the earth quaked like thunder storm. Her screaming stampeded the bull and made it jump off the mountain, but left its image in the mountain walls. The Chinese ancient strategist, Mr. Zhuge Liang had a sentence of description in his “Travel Notes in Huangling Temple”: “when I pored over the mountain walls across the river, I found magic head portrait image with vivid hair and eyebrows, remarkably true to life. A flag in the front, and a bull on the right side, just like someone painted it here.” Of course, the story was the people’s beautiful imagination about conquering the nature. And, the “Bull” is the best indication standing for human’s greatest power in conquering the world. In order to memory the bull’s contribution, ancient people built a temple here to fete it.As a matter of fact, the giant painting is the wall is the particular in Three Gorges. About 400 million years ago, here is still ocean. And 200 million years ago, the granite magma from earth interior movement formed the now Huangniu Mountain and Zhongbao Island. The granite here contains kinds of pigments, showing different colors. White is the main color for Huangniu Mountain, and decorating with some black, therefore forms the big wall paintings. A Chinese ancient poet Li Daoyuan said: “the image at the highest of the rock wall looks like a man lo wing a bull, back man and yellow bull”. This vivid naturalimage has attracted countless tourists of all ages, and fingered out of the world most particular.Zhongbao Island-the Site of the Three Gorges DamAfter ship passes the Xiling Yangtze Bridge, we will reach the dam site of the Three Gorges Project. Years ago, it was a rectangle shaped island called “Zhongbao Island”, with an area of about 0.15 km2. Former premier, Mr. Zhou Enlai chose it from several schemes and set it as the dam site.As a magic island, it has never been submerged in histories, no matter how heavy the floods were. According to the records, the heaviest flood happened in 1870 did not cover this island even the Huangling Temple in a higher place was submerged. Up till now, there is no t any convincible explanation on the phenomenon of “the island goes up along the rising river”However, the island is disappeared since the Project was under construction.We are now going through the “Open Channel of Headrace”. It’s about 3410 m in length, with the width of 350 m, sharing 1/3 of the total width of the Yangtze River here. It’s one of the main constructions of the first phase of the Three Gorges Project. Since June of 2003, ships began to pass the dam through the double-line 5-stage ship locks (for ships over 10 thousand ton). The huge construction at the right side is the Three Gorges Dam. It’s the concrete gravity dam, with a height of 185 m. And the total length of the dam top is 2309 m. The normal water level of the reservoir will be 175 m. The total capacity of the generators installed is 18.20 million kW, while the total annual capacity will be more than 84.7 billion kWh. Ladies and gentlemen, at our left side, we can see the “first city of Three Gorges Immigrants”, the new town site of Zigui County.High Gorge Mountains and the Reservoir LakeThe high gorge mountains and the reservoir lake are the new imposing scenic spots brought to the Yangtze Three Gorges by the construction of the Three Gorges Project. From June 1 to 15, 2003, when the initial water reserve completed, the water level in the upstream of the dam increased to 135 m, much higher than the 98 m level before May 31. The reservoir capacity increased from 2.3 billion to 12.3 billion cubic meters. At 22:00 of September 20, 2006, the reservoir began to raise water level from 135.5 m to 156 m, with extra reservoir capacity of 11 billion cubic meters. At that time, the Three Gorges went on to initial operation period from the cofferdam period, with comprehensive functions on flood control, electricity generation and ship traffic. Here, Yichang, will begin to show you the scenery of the reservoir lake in the high mountains. And here will be the right place to bring you the best view of the reservoir and the mountains. The reservoir will force water to flow back to the place where Fengdu Count located, forming a 436 km long reservoir in the watercourse in the upstream of the dam. The width of the river in many broad valleys will increase to about 3000 m from 1000 m before the water reserve. The Yangtze Riverwill offer you a new face with the smooth reservoir lake instead of the former torrential flow. Lots of hidden scenic spots will show their charms to the tourists. Those new added sceneries like valleys, lakes, islands, watercourses, and water-eroded caves will combine with the previous gorge views to form new contents for your trip to new Three Gorges. According to the incomplete statistics, after the initial water reserve, new lakes and islands will come into being, such as the Zigui Lake, the Baidi Lake, the Baidi Island, the Shuangjiang Island (the Dual River Island), and the Hulu Island (the Calabash Island) etc. Vast and immensurable, nature abounds in changes, the beautiful lakes and mountains will paint a new magnificent scene in the new Three Gorges.Recently, more sightseeing platforms have been built around the Three Gorges Project dam area, such as the Tanzi Ling (Peak Crock), the Extreme Top on the Huangniu Rock (the Bull’s Rock), the first mountain top at the head of the reservoir-the Phoenix Mountain, the Nv’er Ling (the Daughter’s Mountain Top) and etc. All these viewing points provide you the all time, multi view, different height, and omnidirectional sightseeing experience of the dam, the reservoir lake and the high mountains.Kongling GorgeWhen leaving the Three Gorges dam 10 km behind, we’ll reach a steep gorge, the Kongling Gorge. The cloud-capped mountains in the gorge look like sharpened by knives and axes. This gorge is also called “the Kongleng Gorge (empty and cold gorge)”, “the Tongling Gorge (Through Mountains Gorge)”. It’s about 2.5 km in length. According to records in ancient books, ships had to be emptied to ensure its safe sailing in the torrent here. In the middle of this narrow watercourse, there’s a s hoal full of many dangerous submerged reefs, called “the Kongling Shoal”. Ancient people said “the Qing Shoal and the Xie Shoal are not the real shoal, only the Kongling is the gate to the hell”. Many years ago, there was a big rock in the middle of the wa ter, showing the warning words “Come towards me”. When getting here, ships must go straight ahead towards the Rock; with the help of backstroke water bounced by the rock, ship would skim rock and pass through in safety. But, if you ignored the warning, and intended to steer away from the big rock, the water would certainly rush you to the rock causing accident. In 1900, a foreign ship crashed here because the captain had no sense on this warning, and even ignored the advice from the guide. After the liberation in 1949, the big rock was destroyed. Later, the successful launch of Gezhouba Hydropower Project raised the water and deeply merged those dangerous shoals. Although we lose the experience of the nervous and excite sailing here, we obtain the safe transportation.Niugan Mafei Gorge (Gorge of Bull’s Lever & Horse’s Lung)Out of the Kongling Gorge, we will reach the Niugan Mafei Gorge in a short while. The gorge is about 4.5 km in length. In the conflux of Jiuwan River (explored for driftage) and the Yangtze River, there were several brown rocks overlapped in the cliff on the mountain in the north bank. They looked like the Bull’s lever. Beside them, there was another lung shaped big stone called “the Horse’s Lung”. Because these funny rocks, thegorge was named as Gorge of Bull’s Lever & Horse’s Lung (the Niugan Mafei Gorge). Actually, these rocks were made of calcium carbonate by the groundwater.As years past by, the Niugan Rock is still intact, while the Mafei Rock has lost its under part. It was shot by British warship in 1900 when China was still governed by the Qing Dynasty. Today, it is still telling the crimes done by the old British imperialism.However, the Mafei rock has been submerged by the raised water. And the Niugan rock was cut and removed to the Phoenix Mountain in the new city of Zigui County by local tourism bureau. Though we cannot see the two rocks anymore in the gorge, there still are other sceneries as the same.Bingshu Baojian Gorge (Gorge of the Tactics Book & Sword)When our ship passes the Xin Tan (New Shoal), we will reach Bingshu Baojian Gorge. In the rock gaps of the mountain cliff in the north bank, there’s something looking like a roll of bamboo book. It was said it’s the tactics book of Mr Zhuge Liang (an ancient Chinese famous strategist). Under the tactics book, there outshoot a sword shape rock which is thick on the top and sharp in the bottom, pointing to the river. That is the Sword Rock.According to the field research done by the archaeologists, the “tactics book” isact ually the remains of the ancient hanging coffin, while the “sword” is an outshoot limestone.There are also two legends going along with this gorge. One is about Mr. Zhuge Liang. It’s said that Zhuge Liang wrote a book on military experience of his whole l ife. One day, when he got a serious disease, he found there was nobody standing around him could inherit the book. In order to avoid the doctrinaires’ improper use of his theories, he chose the steep place to store it because he thought only those who can get it could take right and full advantage of his book. Another legend happened when the Chuhan Campaign broke out at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Zhang Liang, a smart advisor of the King Liubang, defeated the elite troops of the King Xiangyu, and took over the Chu. After Zhang Liang’s death, his tactics book and sword were hidden here.Before the water raise in the reservoir, the Tourism Bureau of Zigui County organized a special force to save the legendary “tactics book”. Actually, there were remains of hanging coffin and many national secured relics. Now, all these things have been preserved on the Phoenix Mountain for tourists visiting.Celebrities’ Native Place in XiangxiSoon later we will reach the broad valley of Xiangxi. Along the clear and green river of Xiangxi, there once lived two famous Chinese celebrities. One is the great poet, Qu Yuan of the Chu State, and the other is the beauty Wang Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty. It’s said, one day, when Wang Zhaojun was washing her face by the river, she accidentally lost thepearls in her necklace into the Xiangxi River. From then on, the water in this river became clear and fragrant, and got its name “Xiangxi” (the Fragrant River). Like a splendid belt, Xiangxi River makes a shortcut into the Shennongjia virgin forest. After the completion of the Three Gorges dam reservoir, our ship can sail directly from the Yangtze River to Zhaojun’s Village. While in the half way, we can stop at the Leping Li, the birthplace of Qu Yuan.Leping Li, the hometown of Qu Yuan, is right situated by the riverside of the Xiangxi River. There, we can find many interesting places and legend sites about Qu Yuan, such as the Xianglu Ping, the Zhaomian Well, the Dushu Cave, and the Yumi Sanqiu etc. Qu Yuan was an honest, selflessness poet as well as a politician with foresight and sagacity. He was much concerned about the nation and the people, and left many famous poems such as “Li Sao”.The Baoping Village of the Xiangshan County in the upstream of the Xiangxi River is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun, the famous imperial concubine in the ancient Han Dynasty. She married the King of the Hu people in the far western region to exchange long term peace situation. In recent years, her native houses were rebuilt by the local government. At the gate of her house, there stands her white marble statue presented by the Inner Mongolia, with a theme “Wang Zhaojun is living along the thousands years history, just as long peace between the Hu and Han peoples”.The water reserved by the Three Gorge Project also raised the water level in the Xiangxi River. The width of the river was broadened to over 100 m from the former about 10 m. The Xiangxi River, right now, is the short cut linking the new Three Gorges and the Shennongjia. Ships with capacity of thousand tonnages from the Yangtze River can reach the Xiakou Dock of the Xiangshan County through the Xiangxi River. Landing in the dock, you will find that the Shennongjia is just less than an hour’s drive away. Als o, the convenient transportation enables a better accession to the hometowns of Qu Yuan and Wang Zhaojun.Wu GorgeAfter a little while, the ship will finish its sailing in smooth water of the broad valley and carry us to the Wu Gorge, which got the name f rom the Wu Mountain. It’s about 71 km from Guandu Kou in Badong County in the east to the mouth of Daxi Town in the west. The gorge valley is about 44 km in length, and 27 km in width. In both banks of the gorges, the green mountains wave look like the Chinese folding screens. Traveling in the devious watercourse in the deep and beautiful gorges seems like sailing in a natural gallery. Because the Wu Gorge is deep enough and receives less sunshine, the moisture in gorge could not be easily vaporized. The moisture flows and agglomerates to be fogs and clouds. The gauzelike fogs and clouds sometimes fly like dragons, sometimes like yarns. When the beams of sunshine penetrate the clouds apertures, it will bring us the brilliant view called “the Wu Gorge Buddhist Light” by the local people. Therefore, the ancient peopleleft beautiful poems, such as “the water is the water only in the sea; the cloud is the cloud only in the Wu Gorge”.Shennong Xi River in BadongLeaving the Badong Town, we will find another branch of the Yangtze River in the north bank, the Shennong Xi River. In recent years, its driftage has attracted more and more tourists. This river originates in the mountains of the Shennong Jia Mountain. The water is so clear that it almost let your eyesight reach the river bed. The mountains along the river are great as those of the Three Gorges. After the Three Gorges Project reserved water, there’s a lake formed in the middle stream of Shengnon Xi River. We can enjoy the colorful sightseeing, and get to Luoping, where is the start place of our journey drifting the Shennong Xi River. Sitting in a boat shaped like peasecod, we can raft down the clean stream and pass the Shennong Gorge and Mianzhu Gorge to experience the primal wild feeling. In the river, the fragrant fresh air, the birds’s singing, and the ballads sang by the boatmen tell you that you are far from the modern civilization already. After the driftage, we will soon back to the Yangtze Three Gorges.Twelve Peaks among the Wu MountainsWhen sailing in the Wu Gorge, the tourists always can’t help outlooking the famous twelve peaks among the Wu Mountains. The limy twelve peaks both in north and south banks are standing thousands of meters high above the water. Their spectacular wonderful shapes are various. Some looks like men flying into the sky; some looks like phoenixes spreading wings; some looks like folding screen showing paintings; and some look like immortals having meetings…Among the six coherent peaks waving in the north bank, the first one we can see is the Jixian Peak (the Immortals Gathering Peak), which is also called “the Scissor Peak”. In the wall of the mountain under the peak, six big characters loom through the fog, which means “serried ridges and peaks in the Wu Gorge”. Beside the b ig ones, there are some small characters engraved, but we can hardly see them clearly for years of efflorescence. The rock engraved these small characters is also named “the Kongming Stele” because people said these small characters are the well known arti cle “Longzhong Dui” written by the famous ancient strategist Zhuge Liang (Kongming as birth name). Besides, the other five peaks are Songluan (Maohe Peak), Shennv (Wangxia Peak), Zhaoyun, Shengquan, and Denglong.The rest six peaks are standing in the south bank. But, only the Feifeng Peak, the Cuiping Peak, and the Juhe Peak can be viewed from the Yangtze River. if you want to see the other three peaks including the Jingtan Peak, the Qiyun Peak and the Shangsheng Peak, you have to go upstream about 15 km along the Shennv River, a branch of the Yangtze. Therefore, Lu You, a famous poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem and said “Only 9 can be seen among the 12 peaks in the Wu Mountains”.Among these 12 peaks, the most beautiful and upright one is the Shennv Peak (the Saint Girl Peak). When ship heads the peak, we can look up and find a towering rock. It looks like a slim graceful girl, and got the name of the “Saint Girt Peak”. A legend coming down tells us the story. It’s said that once upon a time, the youn gest daughter of the Western Queen Mother, Yao Ji, happened to meet several dragons raising devils here. So she killed them and rescued humans. Later, she sent Da Yu to excavate the Three Gorges and dredge up the river. In order to keep the sailing safe here, she stood into the peak permanently to guide the sail. Day and night, she was the first one here to welcome the rising sun and send off the sunset. Actually, the legend expresses the dream of the ancient people wishing a safe and sound sail here.Daning River and Little Three GorgesNext stop after the twelve peaks of the Wu Mountains is the Daning River. Its headwater is the Zhongnan Mountain of the Pingli County in Shanxi Province. After passing through countless valleys and canyons of Wuxi and the Wu Mountain in Chongqing, it reaches the Yangtze in the east corner of Wushan County. Along the Daning River, there are another three gorges as the Longmen Gorge, the Bawu Gorge and the Dicui Gorge, making the “Little Three Gorges”. Compared to the great Thr ee Gorges, the little one is more beautiful and fascinating. People describe it as “Three Gorges top of the world, Little Three Gorges top of the Three Gorges”. The water raised by the Three Gorges Project reservoir has some impact on the scenery of Little Three Gorges, but improves the navigation condition in the Madu River and Mini Three Gorges.Madu River is an anabranch of the Daning River. Along this river, there’s the Mini Three Gorges. The 20 km Mini one consists of Madu Gorge, Qinwang Gorge and Xiniu Gorge (the Rhinoceros Gorge). All the three gorges own their spectacular sceneries, in which the Madu Gorge is known for countless strange rocks and peaks; the Qinwang Gorge is know for caves and springs; and the Xiniu Gorge is famous for a rock of rhinoceros shape.Qutang GorgeNext to the Wu Gorge, after the ship finishes its journey in the 27-km broad valley in Daning River, we will reach the Qutang Gorge, which is well known for its magnificence. From Daxi Town in the east to the Baidi Castle in the west, the 8 km gorge is the shortest one in Three Gorges. But, the importance of “controlling Sichuan and linking Hubei” strengthens its status. As another gallery of natural sceneries and folk cultures, we can easily find many well known tour sites along our trip upstream, such as the Feng Xiang Gorge (the Bellows Gorge), the Fenghuang Yinquan (the Spring for Phoenix’s Drink), the Mengliang Ti (the Mengliang’s Ladder), the Daodiao Heshang (Upside Down Hanging Monk), the Guimen Guan (the Kuimen Col), the Fenbi Wall (the Pink Walls) and etc.Fengxiang Gorge (the Bellows Gorge)The moment when we enter the Qutang Gorge, on the bluff in the north bank, we can see three big white Chinese characters “Fengxiang Gorge”. No doubt, here we are. Actually, the Fengxiang Gorge is just an arduous cliff. On the cliff, some gaps are found. In a bigger gap, there are a pile of quadrate wood boxes which look like bellows. Then, the gorge got its name. It’s said that the bellows here were left by the Chinese ancient famous carpenter, Lu Ban. In 1971, 3 herb collectors climbed up there and found those box coffins left by the ancient Ba People about 2000 years ago.Fenghuang Yinquan (the Spring for Phoenix’s Drink), Mengliang Ti (Mengliang’s Ladder), Daodiao Heshang (Upside Down Hanging Monk)Soon later, on the cliff in the south bank, there used to be two-storey pavilion built on the rock. The place where the pavilion located was the Fenghuang Yinquan (Spring for Phoenix’s Drink). There, a 20-meter high and 6-meter wide giant rock pillar was effusing the spring water. Seen from far away, it looked like a phoenix drinking water at the spring.The upstream of the Fenghuang Yinquan is the famous Mengliang Ti (Mengliang’s Ladder). It’s a row of quadrate holes cut in the rock. They were one by one, row by row, zigzagging from low to high and reaching the top of the mountain.Closely next to the Mengliang Ti on the rock, there used to pop out a strange rock, which looked like a Monk hanging upside down here. So, people called it the Upside Down Hanging Monk. Absolutely, there was a story behind the scenery. It’s said that there was a famous general named “Yang Ye” in the North Song Dynasty. When he was killed in a battle, his body was buried on a small platform named the “Homesick Platform” popping out from the mountainside of the Baiyan Mountain. In order to save the skeleton of Yang Ye, one of his subordinates, named Mengliang, drove a boat into the Qutang Gorge quietly at night. He cut some holes on the bluff and inserted iron puncheons to make ladders for climbing. When he climbed the half way, a monk found him. The monk pretended to mimic the crow and made Mengliang misunderstood the dawn’s coming. To avoid being found by the guards, he gave up the action and failed in the project. When Mengliang found he was cheated, with greatest anger, he hung the monk upside down on the rock. Of course, this is just a fictitious story. In fact, as the heritage left by ancient ordinary people, these holes were cut to build plank road along the cliff. And the Upside Down Hanging Monk is just a common stalactite.Nowadays, the water reserved by the Three Gorges Project has submerged the Fenghuang Yinquan and the Upside Down Hanging Monk, and the Mengliang’s Ladder has been moved to a higher place.Kuimen Col, Fenbi Tang (the Hall of the Prink Walls)The width of the Yangtze at the Qutang Gorge mouth narrows to less than 100 meters. Cliffs and bluffs in both banks are sharp enough as if they were just cut by swords. On a square place on the mountain, 5 big characters were engraved to tell you that。

三峡作文英文英文:The Three Gorges Dam is a remarkable feat of engineering. It is the largest hydroelectric power station in the world and is located on the Yangtze River in China. The dam has had a significant impact on the surrounding area, both positive and negative.One of the positive impacts of the dam is the production of clean energy. The dam generates around 100 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, which is enough to power millions of homes. This has helped to reduce China's reliance on fossil fuels and has contributed to a reduction in air pollution.However, the dam has also had negative impacts on the environment and people living in the area. The construction of the dam flooded over 1,200 towns and villages, displacing over 1.3 million people. The dam has also causedsignificant ecological damage, including the loss of habitats for endangered species such as the Chinese river dolphin.Despite these negative impacts, the Three Gorges Dam remains an impressive feat of engineering. It is a testament to human innovation and our ability to harness nature for our own benefit.中文:三峡大坝是一项令人瞩目的工程。

I’m your tour guide in Yichang, my name is Wang Jing, you can call me Xiao Wang. I’m from Xiazhou International Travel Service. Now, bring your belongings with you, and follow me to coach. Ok, let me introduce our driver, his name is Li Yao, you can call him Li Shifu, here is our itinerary for these days. If you have some difficulties, please let me know, I would be very happy to help you. My contact way is in it. You must be very tired after a long journey. We are going to Taohualing Hotel and take a rest. Here is our hotel, please give me your ID and I’ll help you to register. Hi, here are your room cards and remember we’ll meet at the gate at 8:00 tomorrow morning, we will visit Three Gorges Dam.Hi, good morning, You look better than yesterday. Now collect your belongings and get on the bus. Hello, we ‘ll visit the Three Gorges Dam. It may take you half an hour bus from the Yichang urban to the dam area. Let me tell you something about it, The Three Gorges Dam is the first 5A-class tour sites in Yichang and has been listed as one of the first national demonstrations on industrial tourism. As the world largest hydropower project, the Three Gorges Project is located at the Zhongbao Island near Sandouping in Yichang, and about 37 km away from the Gezhouba Hydropower project in the downstream. The whole construction is pleted according to the plan of “first class development, plete c onstruction, reservoir by stages, and continuous immigrants”. The total construction period lasted for 17 years including three phases. The first phase was from 1993 to ; the second phase was from to ; and the third one is from to . The total investment is estimated to be RMB billion Yuan. Thereservoir will submerge about million people to immigrate to higher place. When this project is finally pleted, the reserved water level will reach 175 m, with total reservoir capacity of billion cubic meters.Tanzi Ling (Peak Crock) Scenic SpotHere we are the top of the Dam area, the Tangzi Ling (Peak Crock),with a height of m. And we can overlook the general of Three Gorges Project and Dam Area.The name is from its shape of upside down crock. It’s said tha t in the ancient time, when Da Yu led people dredge the watercourse and fought against the flood, he was too involved to enter the door even when he passed his home third times. With the help of magic bull, he excavated 200-km watercourse. In order to thank his achievement, people sent him 24 pigs and a big crock of wine by boat. When the boat reached Sandouping (the Project site), they saw the magic bull going away on clouds and leaving its image in mountains, where was called the Bull Rock later. Hastily, Da Yu followed the bull, leaving a big rock for memory. People were deeply moved by whathappened, and kept the boat waiting in the river. Later, the boat turned into an island, called Zhongbao Island. 24 pigs were down into the river turning into 24 reefs. And that big wine crock was set in the left bank turning into now called Tanzi Ling.The Model Hall of the Three Gorges Project 模型室On the Tanzi Ling, we first visit the Hall of the Project Model, where shows the whole mini construction of the Project. And there we can view real part of the Eternal Riverbed Rock, the Sill under the Dam and the Damming Rock. Then we climbed the peak top and overlook the overall appearance of the Three Gorges Project.These models lay out the plete project with a scale of 1:850. As the largest one in the world, the Project with large installed capacity andhuge engineering scope will bring out marked and integrated benefits. With13 tops in the world, this project is not only for flood control but also giving great benefits to the later generations, showing great role in prehensive national strength increase of China.The Project body consists of the main dam, generation stations and navigation building. The concrete gravity main dam is about 2309 m in length and 185 m in height. And the dam top width is 15 m, while the bottom one is 124 m. The discharge dam is in the middle of the Main Dam, while power generation stations are in both ends. The 483-meter discharge dam consists of 22 overflows and 23 deep overflows, functioning as flood discharge and sludge remove.The generation stations are in the both ends of the main dam. 14 generators are installed for left generation stations, while 12 for right ones. With 700 thousand kW capacity for each, the installed capacity will reach million kW and billion kW each year, which accounts for 1 of the nation total and is times of the Gezhouba project’s total.The navigation buildings consist of two-way 5-stage ship lock and ship elevator. The ship lock is 6442 m in length and 300 m in width, with two way and 5 stages. And it is divided into 10 rooms, 280 m in length and 34 m in width for each, with minimum water depth of 5 m; the fall between upstream and downstream is 113 m, suitable for 10 thousand tonnages ships. But it takes almost two and half hour to pass through the lock. Therefore, the ship elevator is designed for fast navigation for medium and small ships below 3# tonnages. The elevator container is about 120 m in length and 18 m in width, with minimum water depth of m. And it only needs 30-40 minutes for these ships to pass through the dam.Eternal Riverbed Rock万年江底石This is a riverbed rock. It’s granite, with weight over 20 ton. monly we call it the “Eternal Riverbed Rock”. Actually, it’s over billionyears old. From this rock, people get to know the very past of the Yangtze River. Now, on the rock, we can see some bore holes, which were left by the geologists and the hydropower s when investing the dam site. And this rock was originally excavated from the footing groove of cofferdam['k?f?,d?m] during the 2 phase constructionperiod.The Damming Rock 截流石This is the damming rock, a double sized model. We put it here to make it a symbol of the spirit of water controlling. The real rock is triangle tetrahedro, with each side length of , and weight of 28 ton. In 1981, rocks used for damming the Yangtze River at the Gezhouba Project were just half the size. This shape was approved by the modern technology as the best to fight against the rip current. When thrown into the water, its sharp edge cuts into silt to make it stable in the flow. So rocks of this shape, representing the modern hydro technology, have been applied for both Gezhouba Project and Three Gorges Project.The Sill under the DamThis columned rock pillar is a sample of the sill under the dam. Before the construction, there used to be an island, Zhongbao Island, in the center of Yangtze River. And this rock was drilled out from the rock formation under the island. Been considered and approved over 70 years, the Yangtze Three Gorges Project site was finally set at the Zhongbao Island. And now, this island is disappeared. So this rock shows both memory and witness for the great Three gorges Project.The great Embossment浮雕群This embossment is called “the headstream breeding the life”. The big copper plate embossment in the front looks like a generating wheel in water, and 3 strong men are rotating it hand, representing a spirit that the world is living on the water. On two sides of the copper embossment,there is a tiger and a phoenix telling the specific geographic location and the cultural background of the Three gorges Project because the Chu People adored the phoenix while the Ba people adored the tiger. The manding tiger and the illustrious phoenix are the best representatives of the people in the Three Gorges to tell the world their dreams of the dam. Please take a careful look at the both sides, the figures on the top right side are a modern man and the legend Da Yu. They are lapping over each other to show two Chinese characters, the “big” and the Man”. With a sill rock core in hand, the modern man represents the advanced hydropower technology. A shovel in hand, the legend Da Yu tells the long history of the Chinese fighting against the floods. The background here is the great scenery of the dam construction. Starting from the left, it also shows the sceneries of the great immigration movement, the industries of the stockbreeding and the shipping. There are characters like laborious women, lovely kids, and the reliable husband. Dramatically, there are three fairies flying there in the sky. Together with the other fairies on the whole picture, there are 12 of them in total standing for the 12 peaks among the Wu Mountains. Turn to look the figures at the bottom; the leading character is a young lady together with a fairy. The flowers and fruits symbolize the sweet love and the happy ideals. Meanwhile, the plant, animals, and fishes in the background are telling the environment of the Three gorges. The figure of the Easter Pearl Tower, the Shanghai Port, and the buildings in the bund areas signify the contribution that this project will make for the region along the mid and the down stream of the Yangtze. Additionally, some other figures are also show in the picture like the fairies playingmusic, dance of the Ba People, the thousand-hands Kwan-yin, and etc.Echoing with the figures in the front, the central embossment in the back is the legendary that the magic bull helped Da Yu excavate the gorges.On both of the tow sides, there are the paintings of the gorges and the waters. In the gorges, there is an ancient picture showing the poor boatman, the boat trackers, and the people plunged into an abyss of misery, which tell you the worst living condition of the people in the Three Gorges region in ancient times. On two sides, there are the sun, the moon, the Polaris, and the Big Dipper, posing a small celestial body. The flowing water splashing on the grass links together the figure of the whole embossment to show the strong culture connotation of the union of the space, the earth, and the human.Sightseeing Platform on Tanzi Ling坛子岭观景台Here we are the sightseeing platform at the top of the Tanzi Ling, and here is the best place to view the entire construction site. Firstly, we ca see the main dam, where was former main navigation route. And next to the south bank is the 3 phase site of the Three Gorges Project, where will set the right bank generation stations. Please look at the further city at the mountainsi de of the opposite bank, it’s the new city of Zigui County. The reserved water has submerged the old city. And national government chose the mountainside as the new city site, and kept 30 thousand immigrants from places below the 175-meter water level. And look to the downstream, you will find the entire construction of the permanent ship lock. So here is the place “when standing at the top summit, we will see how small the surroundings are”.185 Sightseeing StandThe so called 185 sightseeing stand is the start place of the main dam, which got the name from its height of 185 m. Now we are here, and I will give you a brief introduction to this main dam.Firstly, please allow me to ask you a question: how many dams have been finished in the world? Maybe we all know there are too many, but no exact numbers. From the material aspect, all these dams can be sorted intwo types: one is earth rockfill dam made from earth, grit and rocks; and the other is plaster dam made of rocks or concretes. And the Three Gorges Dam is the latter one.Before, we said this dam is concrete gravity dam, and now it belongs to plaster dam, why? Here plaster refers to bricklaying, tiling. And now the concrete has replaced bricks, with better reliability and operation.Although the section of this gravity dam is large enough for safety, it will also split off after a certain time for its high intensity. The cause is the adhesive of concrete dam, the cement. During the solidifying process, the cement will release heat, especially in summer, this heat will cause high temperature; but the solidified dam will shrink and cool, if limited, the shrink will cause cracks. And large cracks are very dangerous for the concrete dam, so there must some coolmeasures for the concrete structure. The traditional measure was firstly from American. That is to add cool aggregate and ice while mixing the concrete and place water pipes inside the dam for water cool. As a result, the builders call this “Feed Ice and Water for Concrete Dam”.Sightseeing Stand at the Dam TopLadies and gentlemen, please look down the dam, the extra water or flood will discharged by this discharge dam at the middle of the main dam. The discharge dam is 483 in length, consisting of 23 deep outlets, 22 overflows and 22 bottom outlets. The bottom outlets have been submerged since the first water reserve in June of 某.Normally, the speed of the water column from the deep outlet can reach 110 km, even 120 km when eater level equals to 175 m. Looking at this high speed water, maybe everyone would worry about the down stream’s safety if the dam was destroyed in war.The Three Gorges Project is located at the center of China main land, with dam height of 185 m, and total reservoir capacity of billion m3.It can effectively control the flood and contribute to the economy and social development. If war took place in China, the Project would be one of main targets. So during the construction period, engineers were well considering its security. As early as October of 1958, former Premier Zhou Enlai established rules for dam security in details: With location in the central china and giant body, the concrete gravity dam is strong enough for conventional arms except nuclear ones. However, there are certain measures in case of nuclear attack. Besides, approved by hundreds of model test, the downstream gorges and watercourse are long and bend enough to decrease the flow speed and power. And later, the water will flow into bill areas where speed and power are decreased again. Then the water will be controlled in safe.In case of emergency, most water in reservoir can be empted to prevent main dam from break.Damming Memorial ParkThe damming memory park is located in the right bank of the main dam, covering an area of 90,# m2. Here will take you back to the great historical damming moment by site remains show, scene play, video illustration, and historical records etc.Before, Chairman Mao Zedong described the plan “To rebuild the steles, to remove the clouds among Wu Mountains, and make a lake among high gorges mountains”. And now, all these have e true. Following the steps of Da Yu, thousands of builders have dammed the Yangtze 3 times within 37 km in Xiling gorge, and successfully built 2 main dams. And now, all of us can even image the plex technology and hard construction. But we are setting foot in this memorial park, sharing both top records in the world and the theme of spirit for builders to work all out in heave struggle.This memorial park consists of material section, technology exhibit section, acting section, and tour & entertainment section. The materialsection is the former material site for construction in篇2:三峡大坝英文导游词Good morning, ladies and Gentlemen, Wele to China! Wele to Hubei Province! Today I am very pleased to show you Three Gorges of Yangtze River. At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, the biggest river in China, the third longest in the World, starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World -Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, takes in countless rivers, and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an overall length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River, next only to the Amazon and the Nile, is the third biggest river in the world and is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation. When the Yangtze River reaches the eastern Sichuan Basin in southwest China, it cuts through the Wushan Mountain. Here the river course suddenly narrows and the waters bee turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep mountains rise on either side, creating one of nature's most fantastic sights. The Three Gorges#Qutang, wuxia and xiling#start just after Fengjie and end near Yichang, stretch about 200 kilometers. The Gorges vary from 300metres at their widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest. Qutang Gorge is the smallest and shortest Gorge, but grandest of the three. The Yangtze River, mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like “a thousand seas poured into one cup”, as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo described the spectacle. High on the both bank, at a place called Bellows Gorge, are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of an ancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices, some containing bronze swords, armour and other artifacts, but the coffins are believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period (475bc#221BC) Wu Gorge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based strange-shaped mountain peaks, each of which has a reputation based on a beau tiful legend. The story of the “12Peaks of Wushan goes like this: 12 nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how perilous Wushan Gorge was, they decided to stay there to protect ships. As time went by, they transformed themselves into 12 peaks. The Goddess Peak, the most graceful of the 12, is said to have been yaoji, the youngest daughter of the Queen mother of the Western Heaven Peak stands out from the other peaks on the northern bank to be the first to greet the morning sun and the last to bid it farewell, hence its another name, Viewing the glow Peak. Seen at a distance, it resembles the silhouette of a beautiful young lady. Down stream from the zigzagging Wuxia Gorge is Xiling Gorge which stretches 78 kilometers eastward and the cliffs on either side rise to just over 900 meters. Xiling Gorge is awesome with its dangerous rapids, shoals, reefs, sharp turns, billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Gorge in the east consists of several small gorges. On the top of another is a rock that looks like a sword. On the crag of the north bank are two pieces of brown rock, which are named Bull's Liver and Horse' Lung, whose shape they take. Next does the Lantern Shadow Gorge, which has four rocks, resemble Monk Xuan Zang and his three disciples#Monkey, Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Around the last bend of Xiling Gorge stretches a vast plain. The river suddenly bees wide here. Travelers on the Yangtze cruise may also visit many sites of historical and scenic interest along the river banks including the ruined of baidi Town and Precious Stone Village. Everyone knows that the Yangtze Gorges are changing since the well-known Three Gorges Dam Project is being built at Sabdouping, Yichang, Hubei Province. The dam is 181 meters in height. Its construction investment es up to billion rmb, equals to billion . dollars. The installed power generation capacity is expected to be million kilo watts.With the dam built, the flood in the Yangtze River valley will be controlled, navigation improved besides the economic benefits. Tourism will be little affected. Many cultural and historical relics are now being removed to a higher ground before the rise of the water level approaches.篇3:三峡大坝英文导游词Yangtze River's Three Gorges(长江三峡)Ladies and gentlemen,I am very glad to be your tour guide here, before we start visiting the major spots, I would like to briefly introduce the three gorges.Three gorges prise the most famous part of the Yangtze river. The three gorges stretch from nanjinguan of yichang in Hubei Province in the east to a village called baidicheng of the fengjie county in Chongqing Municipality. The three gorges are named Xiling, Wu and Qugtang gorge are altogether 193 kilometers long. The three gorges are not only the highlight of the Yangtze river's scenery, but one of china's scenic treasures as well. The gorges are as famous an America's renowned Grand Canon and have been designated as a global landscape gallery. They have been appreciated by countless numbers of visitors, both from china and outside of china. The three gorges have also provided the setting for many poetic masterpieces written during all Chinese dynasties. Well, my friends. Now let us begin a journey to the spectacular three gorges.Qutang gorgeThe first gorge of the three gorges is called Qutang Gorge, which is also named the Kui Gorge. The Yangtze River suddenly narrows here and is only 100 meters wide in one place. There is Kui Gate(the entrance to the Qutang Gorge) at the Gorge;people said that the world's most majestic place is Kui Gate. The Qutang Gorge is only 8 km long and is the most dangerous of the Three Gorges. The current velocity of the river here is8 meters per second, 20 kilometers per hour. Navigation in the canyon lane is very tricky and people are usually astonished as the boat threads its way through the gorge. The Qutang Gorge has many scenic spots, including the Mengliang Staircase, Armor Hole, and wind Gorge. Although Qutang Gorge is the shortest gorge of the three gorges, its great beauty makes for a superb natural painting.FengjieFengjie is in the north bank of the Qutang Gorge and has a history of more than l,# years. Fengjie has been the political, military, economic and cultural center of East Sichuan. Here are the first territories of the ancient Ba and Yong Kingdoms. Yufu County was established here some 2,300 years ago during the Zhou Dynasty, making it one of the first counties established in China. In # Liu Bei retreated from Yiling ( now Yichang) to Baidicheng, where he renarued Yufu County as Yongan County. In the 32nd year of the Tang Emperor Zhenguan's reign (649 .), the emperor in order to mend Zhuge Liang for his patriotism and loyalty, gave this place its current name¨Fengjie“. The distinguished poets, Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Lu You, and Liu Yuxi have all written lots of famous poems here. Thus Fengjie County is als o known as ”the city of poetry“。

Speaking of three gorges dam, it is goes without saying that the three gorges dam is virtually subtlety associated with the number 3,why?Iwill give you the explanation .Because many of information about three gorges dam contains the number 3.Firstly, three gorges dam is located at sandouping town,38km away from Gezhouba dam which is situated at downstream.Secondly, it is esteemed that 2039 billion has been invested in construction. Thirdly,the project had experienced 17 years which divided into 3 phases. from 1993 to 1997 is the first period and this period is regarded as preparation period;from 1998 to 2003 is the second period and the last period indicates the year from 2004 to 2009.After the project completed,the normal water lever has gone up to 175 meters and the strong capacity of reservoir amount to 393billion cubic meter. Due to the water level rises, 430 thousand arable land has been submerge and 1.75million immigrations have to search for new land to inhabit.As i have mentioned,in order to construct three gorges dam, considerable number of immigrant quittheir home and arable land also is deserved.Apart from this, the dam will brings other negative effect, forsocial aspect, on one hand, millions of people will be displaced, the government will take great pains to solve the problem that settle down the immigrant and assit them to find a new job.On the other hand,some culture heritage will disappear and under the water forever since the water lever rises,for natural aspect,building dam will alter the envirment,also does harm to precious animal such as Chinese sturgeon.Every coin has two sides, it must be paid pricefor the negative influences of three gorges dam, but the national congress insist maintain the decision of building three gorges dam because the advantage of building three gorges dam outweighs the disadvantage of building three gorges dam. three gorges dam, not only bring us significant economic effect but also is beneficial for environment and society because it will play vital role in many fields, for instance, flood control,electricity navigation,tourism,south to north water diversion,irragation,development-oriented resettlement.especially, three gorges dam demonstrates remarkable contribution in 3 fields:First field is power generation:the annual average power of three gorges dam accounts up to 84.7 TWH. campared to the coal-fired power station with equivalent electricity generation,hyroelectric poweris renewable and exhasible.besides that hydroelectric power is clean energy.three gorges power plant will decrease emission of 100 million tons of CO2,2 million tons of SO2.Second field is navigation,the annual one-way navigation capacity of Yangtze at the dam will be upgraded from 10 million tons to 50 million tons.third field is flood control,the effective flood control capacity reaches 22.15 billion cubicmetres.the rare catastrophe of flood will be withstood by the dam thus 15million people and 1.5million hectare of farmland will be relieved from flood threaten.OK!we are approaching the scenic spot.today wewill view three spots in total,at firststeep(tangziling platform) we will get the chance to have a glimpse of the panorama of three gorgesdam.second stop-the platform of 185 meters height,it offers us golden opportunity to witness the shiplift and zigui immgrant town.the third stop.memorial gardern supply vidio and photoes about three gorges dam that you may interested in.Now we are arriving at first stop-tangziling,please bring you valuables and get off the buspreliminarly,please follow me to three gorges project model house.In front of us,there is the layout of three gorges dam's model with the scale of1:850.Look at main body of three gorges dam which has been painted white colour.The main body can be divided into 3 parts:spillway structures,powerhouse and building for navigation.The axial length of the dam is 2309.47meters and the height of the dam is185meters,the spillway structures,consisting 22 overflow and 23deep overflow,is in the middle of the main body with the length of 483meters.The spillway world drain the sludge and coordinate the flood when needed.There are 32 turbine-generator units installedon the right and left hand of the spillwaystructure,each with installed capacity of 700mw.the navigation building consis of double-line five stage shiplock and ship elevator.double-line five stage shiplock is 6442m in length and 300m inwidth,with two way and five stages.And it is diveded into 10 rooms,each room is 280 in length and 34m in width.the fall between upstream and downstream is113m,suitable for 10 thousand tonnages ships and it will take almost 3 hour to pass through thelock.Therefore the ship elevator is designed for fast navigation for medium and small ship below 3000 tonnages.The elevator container is 120m in length and 18m in width and it only need 40 minutes for those ships to pass through the dam.the elevator near the platform 185 will be finished in 2015.。

IntroductionThe Three Gorges Dam which is located in YiChang of China is the biggest hydropower project all over the world and the whole project costs 16 years from Dec. 14th 1994 to 2009. There are two important parts, the main building works and diversion projects, included in the project. The investment of the project is 248.537 billion Yuan in total: dam Project costs 126.385 billion Yuan, power transmission project spends 36.499 billion Yuan, and the amount of resettlement funds is 85.653 billion Yuan.Why this project was selected for reviewSo far, as the biggest hydroelectric project, this project costs a huge number of money, time as well as numerous human and material resources, at the same time, it creates world record in many ways. The project needs not only very strict requirements in technical aspect, but also the harsh demanding in project management. So this project meets the requirements of the course, which will help us understand senior project management intuitively and deeply by studying this case.Brief explanation of project objectives, proposed scope and key stakeholders;1:project objectives:(1) The benefit of Flood controlThree Gorges Dam’s primary objective is to reduce the losses anddamage by controlling the frequent and hazardous floods of Yangtze River(2) The capacity of electric power generationThe dam’s secondary benefits are producing cheap and clean electric power which is equivalent with 15 nuclear plants.(3) The benefit of shippingThe Gorges Dam project that has improved more than 600 km navigation mileages and increased the shipping capacity will accelerates the waterborne traffic and lower cost.(4)The function of drought resistingThree Gorges Dam of the huge storage can effectively ease the drought situation by adjusting the water release.2:Proposed scope:This project will form a huge reservoir which is 600 km long. The length of the dam crest is 3035 meters; the height of the dam is 185 meters. The ordinary water level is 175 meters with water storage of 39.3 billion cubic meters, of which flood control storage capacity is 22.15 billion cubic meters.3:key stakeholders:China Three Gorges Corporation which is the legal entity for Three Gorges Dam Project is in the charge of the State Council. Itsresponsibilities include the financing, constructing, operating and balancing the economy benefits and the environment protection.The Three Gorges Dam Project led to the biggest immigrant throughout our country history. Immigrants who lose their land and home were placed separately to 11 provinces from the reservoir region according to the principle of local settlement and relocated settlement.Outline of key success criteria and deliverables1. The criteria of flood controlFlood always causes more terrible impact in this region than others owing to its rich agricultural land and prosperous cities. There are some criteria for flood control of the dam. First, the flood control standard of this project should be upgraded to a level of preventing 100-year floods. With such flood coming, the dam can regular the flow which will not exceed 56700 cubic meters every second. Secondly, The Three Gorges project need to reduce the sediment by the scour of flood into the Dongting lake. Not only can we effectively mitigate the threat to Dongting lake, but also extend the life of the Dongting lake. Thirdly, it should strengths the flexibility and reliability of control flood to avoid terrible losses such as the destroy to Wuhan, the terminal of Jinghan trunk railways, and the damage to people and their property2.The criteria of electric power generationThe project has been predicted that 26 turbine-generator unitscan generate electricity in 2003.From then on, they can put 2.8 million KW every year. The dam should be able to product the energy for central and east of China to satisfy their need of reducing cost and accelerating the development of economy. What’s more, this benefit should gives impetus to replace the thermal power which used to be dominated in China by this kind of clean and green energy which can reduce large amounts of carbon dioxide and more than2 million tons’harmful gas emissions a year.3 The criteria of navigationThe significant criteria of navigation is accelerating the prosperity of waterborne traffic and lowering cost. For one hand, By the Three Gorges reservoir’s regulation, in dry season, the water release can get 5860 cubic meters per second which is larger than the amount of natural circumstances that ensure the ton fleet from Chongqing to Shanghai easily. For another hand, the completion of the dam will promote the standardization and aggregation of ship form because of the Yangtze River’s channel and water conditions improved. Shipping fuel consumption decrease to7.66 kg/km from 26 kg/km, and transportation cost lower 25% ~ 35% percent.。
