Mao Zedong wrote a poem about the Three Gorges Dam. Now his dream has come true. The power of the Yangtze River, which is the world’s third longest river, has been controlled by the Three Gorges Dam.
The Three Gorges Dam, which is the biggest construction project (建筑工程) in China since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, has been built to control flooding and provide hydro-electric (水电) power for the central area of China. The dam is the largest hydro-electric power station and dam in the world.

The dam has flooded 2 cities, 11 countries 140 towns and more than 4,000 villages. More than a million people who lived in the area have moved from their homes. Now they’re living a happy new life in different areas.
The Three Gorges area is one of the most beautiful areas of China and the project has flooded some of China’s most famous historical sites, including the Qu Yuan Temple, the Han Watchtower and the Moya Cliff carvings. About 800 historical relics(遗迹) have been submerged（淹没）. Some of them are being removed and some are being put into museums.
