Admiring the damThis is no ordinary dam-its THE bigeest dam in the world and always will be. When completed in 2009 it will control the waters on the third longest river in the world-6500km-THE YANGTZE RIVER
(caps lock not working on keyboard)
it flows from himalays through tibet across china and empties near shanghai in to east china sea/pacific ocean.it will produce elctricity equal to 15 nuclear power station.
Three Little Gorges by traditional small boatthe water levels will go up more than 175m -will displace millions-over 8000 historical sites will be drowned for ever-the three gorges will disappear for ever under water -we are the last of the tourist to see this sites before it is lost-its pure vendalism but on the positive side the flooding will be control so lives will be saved and ofcourse it is going to revitalise middle china- to their credit chinese have built many new cities and bridges all along banks of yangtze above the new water leves-its incredible to see this new concrete jungles.
Three Gorges
not sure but i think this bridge is to be lost once water level rises above 175m from the water level now-the only wild life we saw were few migratory birds and 3 elusive golden monkeys!!!!
