Follow this video to take the "Two Dams and One Gorge" ship lifter line over the Three Gorges Dam - the world's largest concrete dam. Experience an amazing 113-meter vertical climb, equivalent to the height of a 40-story building.
The climb is made possible by the largest and most sophisticated vertical-hoist ship lift in the world. It allows small and medium-sized ships, with a maximum displacement of about 3,000 metric tons, to pass the dam within just 40 minutes.
"Two dams and one gorge,” which refers to the Gezhouba Dam, the Three Gorges Dam, and the Xiling Gorge between the two dams, has become a classic travel itinerary.
