Three Gorges Dam Closure Memorial Park
截流纪念园
The closest viewing park to the dam wall within the Three Gorges Dam scenic area, where you can see the spillway gates, the closure stones and construction machinery up close.
The Dam Closure Memorial Park lies on the left bank downstream of the Three Gorges Dam. It is one of three main visitor sites in the Three Gorges Dam tourist area, along with Tanziling and the 185 Platform. The park displays the large machinery used for the river closure at the time, as well as tetrahedral closure stones. It is the flat viewing point closest to the dam wall, and during flood discharge the spray fills the air and the sound is impressive. Entry to the scenic area is free, but visitors need to take the scenic area sightseeing bus (about 35 yuan) to shuttle between viewpoints. A full visit takes about 3–4 hours.
