I want to travel to the Three Gorges Dam on National Day. What should I pay attention to?

Originally, I thought the Three Gorges Dam was just a dam tour. When I went there, I found it wasn't. I transferred from Interception Memorial Park and Tanziling to the observation deck at 185. It takes about 2 hours to swim down, and you can learn about the design, composition and operation of the Three Gorges Dam from different angles. Compared with Gezhouba, the Three Gorges Dam is much more spectacular, and even has a special elevator for boats, which eliminates the trouble of long queues. It is said that it takes 3-4 hours to pass the gate normally. At the observation deck of 185, we saw the main building of the dam at close range. We were very lucky. The flood discharge that day was spectacular.

We signed up for the tour in advance, gathered from the tourist center at 7: 20 in the morning, took a cruise, passed Gezhouba and Xiling Gorge, and got off at Sandouping at 1 1: 30. After eating Chinese food, transfer to the scenic bus in the tourist center to go to Tanziling, then to the fifth-class lock, 185 observation deck, intercept the ruins park and return to the urban area. The group said they agreed to arrive at the visitor center at six o'clock. In fact, people waited until after seven o'clock and almost missed the 7: 40 train. I really took it. This is not conducive to traveling with a group. There are always people who are late for the appointed meeting time.

The suggestion is to drive directly to the scenic spot, hire local people to lead the way, and only accept 50 yuan for one car. If you are lucky, you can see the floodgates open.

Tickets for the Three Gorges Dam are now free, and there are only three kinds of tourist prices: one is a luxury cruise ship to visit Pinghu in Gaoxia, 180 yuan; Second, the bus tour of the dam scenic spot and Qu Yuan's hometown, 100 yuan; Third, you only need 35 yuan to visit the scenic spots of the dam by car. Personally, I suggest choosing the second option. After all, Quyuan Temple is also a national key cultural relics protection unit and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, which is worth visiting. The scenery on the front and back of the Three Gorges Dam has its own characteristics, so we must see them all.
