Without understanding the construction history of the Three Gorges Dam and the principle of crossing the Three Gorges Dam by boat, one may think that crossing the dam by cruise ship is as easy as crossing a pedestrian bridge. However, this is not the case. Crossing the Three Gorges Dam by boat requires time and certain reporting procedures, which makes many trips of Three Gorges cruise ships stop at the Three Gorges Dam. On the official website for booking tickets for Meiya Three Gorges cruise ships, it can be seen that there are not many ships that need to cross the Three Gorges Dam. Therefore, regarding the question of how many luxury cruise ships need to cross the Three Gorges Dam, I can tell you that it can be counted with one hand. For example, the President's 6th cruise ship, which travels from Wuhan to Chongqing, not only passes through the Three Gorges Dam lock but also the Gezhouba lock. Some crossing the Three Gorges Dam is achieved through a ship lift, but the principle of crossing the dam is the same regardless of which method is used.

The price of experiencing the ship lift of the Three Gorges Dam alone is not cheap, I don't know if it's worth trying.
@唯有行动才能改造命运：How to put it, the ship lift itself is just a solution to the insufficient capacity of the Three Gorges Dam and carries a transportation function. Its appearance is to improve navigation efficiency, not a scenic spot. You can do it within your capacity, but personally, I think there should be no regrets when you go to the dam.
ReplyWhat is the difference between a ship lift and a five level lock?
@唯有行动才能改造命运：The most direct difference is that a five level ship lock raises the water level inside the lock chamber, allowing ships to pass through different levels of lock chambers one by one, similar to a large ship climbing stairs, while a ship lift uses mechanical devices to directly lift or lower the ship, similar to a ship riding an elevator.
ReplyThere are not many Three Gorges cruise ships that have crossed the Three Gorges Dam, but there are two ways for Three Gorges cruise ships to cross the dam. One is to pass through the five level ship lock mentioned by Baozi, and the other is to pass through the ship lift. The specific method of crossing the dam at that time can be seen on theMeiya Three Gorges Cruise Ticket Bookingwebsite based on the itinerary details of each cruise ship. For example, the itinerary of the Century Legend cruise ship from Chongqing to Shanghai will indicate when the ship passed through the fifth level ship lock.
