Lubuge Three Gorges
鲁布革三峡
A canyon reservoir upstream of the Lubuge Hydropower Station dam. Boats pass through Diling Gorge, Lion Gorge, and Lovers’ Gorge, with steep cliffs and waterfalls on both sides.
Lubuge Three Gorges lie on the Huangni River on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou. After the dam of the Lubuge Hydropower Station was built, the water formed a narrow canyon lake. Tour boats pass through Diling Gorge, Lion Gorge, and Lovers’ Gorge in turn, with high cliffs and dense vegetation on both sides. In the rainy season, waterfalls often cascade down the cliffs. The Lubuge Hydropower Station was built in the 1980s with a World Bank loan and was the first project in China to use international bidding, which triggered reforms in domestic project management. A round-trip boat ride takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, and it can be combined with the Duoyi River and Lazhe Buyei Village.
