How do ships pass through the Three Gorges

@扎木合旧部K：The Three Gorges cruise ship passes through the ship locks on the Three Gorges Dam. There are a total of five ship locks installed on the Three Gorges Dam, and ships pass through upstream and downstream. When ships are loaded with water, they first open the fifth level ship lock below, close the lock, open the gates, and then climb up step by step like climbing stairs.

@学霸模式开启：However, many of your current Three Gorges cruise ships do not pass through the Three Gorges Dam and require a separate ticket to experience. It is best to first clarify that they cannot pass through the fifth level ship lock and how they pass through it. Some cruise ships do not pass through the lock and can directly ride on the ship lift.

@瓶个清净：The Three Gorges cruise ships traveling between Chongqing and Yichang cannot pass through the fifth level ship lock of the Three Gorges Dam. Only some cruise ships to Wuhan and Shanghai can pass through the fifth level ship lock. If you want to book a ship from Chongqing to Wuhan or from Chongqing to Shanghai, you can go to the officialMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket BookingCenter.

@茶亼六玉川：The Three Gorges Dam is also a large cabin similar to a pressure chamber, with a water level that is the same as the upstream water level. From upstream to downstream, ships first open the upstream ship lock, enter the cabin, close the upstream ship lock, release the water in the cabin, and let the water level drop to the downstream water level. Open the downstream cabin door step by step and move down.

@浅畔浅酌浅西凉：The Three Gorges Ship Lock belongs to a large drop ship lock, which is a five level ship lock. The ship lock is divided into upstream and downstream. If you go up from the downstream, it rises level by level. If you go down from the upstream, it rises level by level.
