Wednesday 22nd May
This morning after breakfast we went ashore and were driven in coaches to see the Three Gorges Dam
Jessie our guide gave us the statistics and we went through a security gate onto the site.
It seemed to us although we could be wrong that some of the statistics were possibly not correct!! lots of propaganda attached to the information!)
However it is a big dam, it is the biggest in the world and they are very proud of it.
1.3 million people were displaced to build it and many homes and farms were drowned. However the navigation up the river is now safer, the water is controlled and so there is no more flooding.
That has to be a good thing!
