Three Gorges Dam

We left our boat this morning in intermittent rain for a tour of the Dam. High 55 degrees

Opened in 2008, the Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest artificial generator of electric power from a renewable source. Costing $28 billion, it is the most expensive hydroelectric project in history.

We had an afternoon sail through the Xiling Gorge.  At nearly 50 miles long, the Xiling Gorge is the longest of the three gorges. Pearl presentation later. There are many shops onboard and are able to make custom made clothing.
