Tour Three Gorges Dam Cruises

The Three Gorges Dam is a massive dam project. It took 4 escalators just to get up to a viewing area where we could look down on the dam. Later that evening our ship sailed through the ship lock but we had to wait to go through and it got late so we didn't get to experience the few hours of going through the ship lock there (many people did stay up for it though). The next day we did an excursion, which was a ride in a sampan (small boat) up a tributary of the Yangtze called the Goddess Stream, which was a tour of the Lesser Three Gorges. The hour and a half ride gave us some amazing views of the Goddess Stream and was really enjoyable.

Local guide Mark was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The views from the top, even though it was overcast, were amazing!

It was good. Since it was the holiday, there were solid people. I maybe would have enjoyed it more on a less crowed day, although that is not under your control

Interesting to see if you're into big engineering projects like this; otherwise, not.

It's a monumental dam, but you don't really get to see much of it beyond a visit to two "approved" viewing sites.
