Take a cruise, feel the Three Gorges vertical ship lift, and experience riding a 100-meter "ship lift". Behind the mysterious veil, many foreign experts lamented that the Chinese have accomplished an impossible task. The Three Gorges ship lift is like installing a huge elevator on a 40-story building. It can lift ships 113 meters at a time together with the ship-carrying compartment. The entire lifting process takes about 10 minutes. It only takes 40 minutes for ships to pass the dam through the Three Gorges ship lift. Compared with the previous dam-crossing road that took a whole day and the five-level ship lock that took four hours, the Three Gorges ship lift is a veritable "fast track" for elevators to pass the dam. The Yangtze River Three Gorges No. 5 left the ship carriage and sailed into the upstream of the dam. I was shocked by the scenery of "cutting off the clouds and rain of Wushan, and a flat lake emerging from the high gorge". I couldn't help but be impressed by the wisdom of the Chinese people in utilizing and transforming nature.
