San You Dong Scenic Area is located 7 kilometers northwest of Yichang and is a huge cave on the steep cliffs of the northern peak of Xiling Mountain. It is backed by the mouth of Xiling Gorge in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and faces the Xialao River, with unique cave scenery and beautiful mountains and waters.
The terrain of Sanyou Cave is steep and steep, resembling a canopy. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. The cave is open and irregular rectangular in shape, with a depth of about 30 meters, a width of about 23 meters, and a height of about 9 meters. It is a limestone cave formed by the continuous dissolution and collapse of underground water along the rock surface in ancient times. San You Dong has beautiful scenery and a long history. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, many famous artists and literati have come here one after another to compose poems and inscribe characters on the cave walls. There are hundreds of existing poems, calligraphy, inscriptions, and stone tablets both inside and outside the cave, including those of famous calligraphers in Kai, Li, Seal, Xing, and Cao styles.

Legend has it that in the 14th year of the Yuanhe reign of the Tang Dynasty (819 AD), the great poet Bai Juyi and his brother Bai Xingjian met the great poet Yuan Zhen here. Three people went together to visit Xiling Mountain. The discovery of this "innate cave" was accompanied by three poets each composing a poem, which was recorded in the preface by Bai Juyi. Therefore, the cave was first explored by the three of them, hence the name "San You Cave". 137 years later, during the Northern Song Dynasty, three literary giants, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe, also visited this cave together. Similarly, Su and his son each wrote a poem and left it on the cave wall. The trip between the Bai brothers and Yuan Zhen is called the "first three trips"; the trip between the Su father and son is called the "last three trips".
On the morning of May 14th at 8:00 am, the Ying-3 fleet of the Yangtze River Yichang Navigation Engineering Bureau entered the dredging area of the pier sand pile downstream of the Three Gorges Ship Lock on schedule to locate the construction site. At 11:30, with the loading of the first bucket of sediment onto the grab ship, it marked the smooth start of the dredging project for the sand pile near the ship pier downstream of the Three Gorges Ship Lock.
It is reported that the construction area is located in the lower approach channel of the fifth level ship lock of the Three Gorges Dam, with a relatively special geographical location. It is an important waterway for passing through the lock. After years of operation, some channels have been silted up due to the influence of sediment caused by water flow, and dredging and dredging need to be carried out as soon as possible to ensure navigation safety.
Due to the special location of the construction area, the difficulty of dredging construction operations has also increased. On the one hand, due to the proximity of the construction area to the Three Gorges waterway and the large number of passing ships, it is necessary to immediately stop construction when dangerous goods ships pass by, in order to avoid unforeseeable safety accidents and significant safety hazards; On the other hand, the water area of the construction area is narrow, and the navigation is carried out while the construction is carried out, so the ship positioning is difficult, and the requirements for ship construction positioning are high.
In order to avoid affecting the normal navigation of the waterway and ensure the quality of dredging construction, the Changying 3 fleet strictly implements safety measures in accordance with the requirements of the Maritime Safety Administration, ensuring safety at all times. Firstly, it is strictly prohibited to throw debris onto the river surface, and attention should be paid to watching passing ships. Dangerous goods ships are strictly prohibited from using fire when passing by, and masks, helmets, and life jackets should be worn during construction in accordance with relevant epidemic regulations; On the other hand, it is necessary to reasonably use the time to organize the construction ships to work in sections, efficiently complete the dredging task, reduce the channel occupation time and scope, and ensure the navigation safety of passing ships.
