How much of the Yangtze River Three Gorges Scenic Area has disappeared?

After the reservoir is impounded, the water level in front of the dam will increase by nearly 100 meters, which will affect some scenery and historical sites. At the end of the second phase of the project, Zhang Fei Temple will be submerged: in 2006, the water level increased to 156 meters, and the mountain gate of Quyuan Temple in Zigui will be submerged; in 2009, the dam was completed, and after another three years, that is, by 2012, the final water level on the dam The altitude will reach 175 meters, the water level will actually increase by 110 meters, and the backwater will go up 650 kilometers to Chongqing. The existing tourist attractions can basically be preserved until the completion of the second phase of the project in 2003. After the entire project is completed in 2009, 39 cultural and natural landscapes in the area will be fully or partially submerged, accounting for about 13% of the tourist attractions in the reservoir area. It should be said that it will have an impact, but the impact will not be significant. Due to their relatively high altitude, the water level in the Wu Gorge and Qutang Gorge areas has only increased by more than 80 meters. The peaks and cliffs on both sides of the river are at an altitude of several hundred meters or even more than a thousand meters. Except for some ancient plank roads and caves that will be submerged in the water, there will be no other areas. Great changes. Only two sections of the Xiling Gorge area, Bingshu Baojian Gorge and Niugan Mafei Gorge, were submerged. The Huangniu Gorge and Dengying Gorge between the two dams in the eastern section still exist. Therefore, in the world-famous Three Gorges section, the "Goddess" Yixiu and "Kuimen" are still majestic, although a small amount of gorge scenery and mountain scenery will disappear. However, due to the rising backwater, nearly a hundred new landscapes will be created. Baidi City and Shibaozhai will become Baidi Island and Shibao Island respectively. Many Yangtze River tributaries will form various tourism resources for us to develop and utilize. After the dam is closed, the Three Gorges landscape remains unchanged. In the future, the cruise ships traveling on the Three Gorges line can be built larger, and the cruise ships will be more stable and comfortable. The focus of the Yangtze River tourism industry will change, and the routes and journeys will include a variety of existing ones. The pattern will undergo huge changes. Maybe people will no longer worry about the advantages and disadvantages of going up and down the water, and cruise companies will not set the price difference for going up and down the water. The prime tourist area centered on the Three Gorges Dam will become a part of the Yangtze River Tour. A bright pearl.
