How did the Three Gorges ship lock pass through

My classmates and I went to visit the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River together during our summer vacation. Cruise tickets booked on the official website ofMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket BookingCenter. How did we pass through the Three Gorges ship lock? We took a regular cruise ship and the tickets were quite cheap. The cruise ship would stop at various scenic spots for sightseeing. When passing through the Three Gorges Dam, our boat took a helicopter and climbed over the dam in about 30 minutes. From a distance, there are many boats waiting in line on both sides of the gate.

The Three Gorges Dam is a vivid description of the process of ships passing through the ship lock, with large ships climbing stairs and small boats taking elevators. The large cargo ship passes through five levels of gates, enters through the first gate, and then the water level rises to the second level to open the gate and enter, climbing over the dam layer by layer like climbing stairs to reach the upstream.

My daughter and I agreed to go to the Three Gorges Dam during the May Day Golden Week and bought tickets at theMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket Reservation Centeron our official website. Looking forward to this trip to the Three Gorges. I looked at some guides to Three Gorges tourism on the official website, various entertainment facilities on the cruise ship, various Chinese and Western style meals, and various fitness courses. The more I read, the more excited I became. I truly feel that cruise travel is too comfortable.

The student union specifically gathered in Yichang to have fun. We went to the Three Gorges Dam together and watched the process of the ship lock passing up close. From a small nail point in the distance, a small boat passed through each level of the ship lock, climbing layer by layer, and finally arrived in front of us. We passed through the ship lock and headed towards our respective destinations.

How did the ship cross this rare "staircase" in the world? Next to the cruise ship we are on, there is a Hualun that has to pass through the dam to ascend. Open the lower gate and inject enough water to raise the water level in the gate chamber. The cruise ship rises as the water level in the gate chamber rises, and when the water level is at the same level as the fourth gate chamber, open the gate to enter. In this way, it rises step by step and enters the upstream from the downstream.

Cruise tickets ordered at theMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket BookingCenter. A four-day and three night itinerary from Chongqing Chaotianmen Port to Yichang for group dispersal in the city center. Appreciating the scenery along the way, eating and sleeping on the cruise ship, and waking up naturally every day to eat, it's really comfortable.
