    Three Gorges Dam

    March 30, 2019 in China ⋅ 🌧 54 °F

    Heading on a rainy day to the Dam. On a bus where I can’t hear the local Guide. Not good. Talking about his relatives selling oranges through WeChat and online. Oranges are big in this area

    This Dam is 6x the size of the Hoover Dam, the largest hydroelectric project ever attempted by man Many people were relocated to make room for this. Well over a 1.4 million people had to be relocated all over China. For a whole lot more info on the Dam check out this link - https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2006…

    This was definitely a day for muckers rained solid all day which made it hard for pics. Enormous number of people. On an avg day - 10,000. Highest number - 43000. I can’t imagine.

    Pics are going to be very hard to upload. Connection speeds for uploads are abysmal
