To complete the world’s largest hydropower project to date, the gargantuan Three Gorges Dam drowned out villages, towns, cities, biodiversity, wildlife, and sites of ancient historical and cultural value. But the undertaking was also expected to, among other benefits and triumphs, expand the region as a site of interest to visitors. It was said, tourists would be able to savour, in greater safety and comfort, China’s legendary Yangtze River along waters, once rushing and dangerous, now tamed by the dam’s 660- km-long reservoir.
