There are three viewing points open to tourists in the Three Gorges Dam tourist area: Tanziling, 185 Platform, and the Stream-Cutting Memorial Park. So how to visit correctly and save time? There are generally two ways to visit: 1. Independent travel. Drive or choose other means of transportation to reach the scenic spot. Among them, self-driving tourists need to apply for a pass at the reception station with relevant documents according to regulations when driving into the Three Gorges dedicated road. 2. Three Gorges cruise ship, the project included in the cruise ship includes the Three Gorges Dam tourist area.

This is due to the special nature of the dam scenic spot, no matter which way you enter, you need to change to the tourist center's round-trip bus to go to the core scenic spot. 2. Similarly, here, security checks will be conducted on tourists, and some items that are not allowed to be brought in can be stored in the tourist center, and can be picked up after the tour is over. First stop: Tanziling. Tanziling is the highest point overlooking the Three Gorges Project. When you climb to the 5A-level tourist scenic spot Tanziling viewing point, you can overlook the entire Three Gorges Project and experience the heroic feelings of the poem 'Cut off Wushan clouds and rain, high gorges out of Pinghu'. Second stop: 185 Platform. As the name suggests, it is because the dam is 185 meters high. From Tanziling to the 185 platform, you can walk there in about fifteen minutes, or you can choose to take an electric car for 10 yuan; looking down from the 185 platform, you can feel the greatness and pride of the Chinese nation and enter the near-dam viewing point, where you can feel the majestic and magnificent dam at close range.

The Stream-Cutting Memorial Park is the first domestic water conservancy project theme park with the theme of the Three Gorges Project's stream-cutting, integrating sightseeing, popular science, leisure and other functions. Some small tips: 1. There is a Three Gorges ship lift inside the dam, where you can experience the feeling of the ship rising with the water. If you are self-driving, it is recommended to book and purchase online in advance; if you are on a Three Gorges cruise ship, you can ask the ship to help buy it. 2. The scenic area is still relatively large, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes to play, self-driving friends need to consult the scenic area in advance, bring relevant documents for registration and inspection. 3.
