Trip to Yi Chang 🇨🇳

It was a trip to China to visit The Three Gorges Dam. We took flight ✈️ to Yichang Sanxia Airport (YIH), which is the nearest airport to the Three Gorges Dam. It’s located about 40 km (25 miles) from the dam. The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest hydroelectric power station which is located on the Yangtze River in Hubei Province. Its construction began in 1994 and was completed in 2012. The dam was built primarily for flood control, electricity generation, and improving river navigation. We visited there for Qinglong Waterfall which is located in the Three Gorges area. The Qinglong Waterfall is a stunning natural attraction with water cascading from a height of about 100 meters. We also explored the Shennong Stream Waterfalls. It is accessible during a Yangtze River cruise, these waterfalls are a series of cascades that can be explored by small boat or on foot. We went to Viewing Platforms where we got to take in panoramic views of the dam from various viewing platforms, especially the Tanzi Ridge viewing area. If you were to visited there, I would also recommend you to cruise 🚢 the Yangtze River. Pass through the Qutang, Wu, and Xiling Gorges, which offer some of the most dramatic landscapes in China. We also visited the Baidi City (White Emperor City). A historic site located at the entrance of the Qutang Gorge, known for its ancient temples and poetry inscriptions. Waterfalls and all the surrounding areas were very beautiful. The best time to visit the waterfalls will be Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October). As it offers the best weather with fewer crowds. #waterfalls #vacation #myitinerary
