Three Gorges Test Dam Park
陆水枢纽·三峡试验坝
The Lushui Water Control Project, the test dam for the Three Gorges and Gezhouba projects, has been turned into a theme park with an exhibition hall, dam views, and Egret Shoal.
The main dam of the Lushui Reservoir was built in the 1950s and 1960s and served as a test dam for the Three Gorges Project and the Gezhouba Project, where concrete dam body and ship-lift technologies were trialed. The dam area is now the Three Gorges Test Dam Theme Park, with an engineering exhibition hall, a dam-top viewing platform, and the Egret Shoal ecological zone, where you can view the Lushui Lake outlet and the river downstream. Located at the southeastern edge of the city, it is about 10 minutes by taxi and can be visited on the same day as Lushui Lake. Admission is low; check on site for current prices.
