Three Gorges Dam
The very controversial Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River was built under Chairman Mao’s instructions to tame the river and aid commercial traffic. Thousands of people were displaced and a lot of history and environmental features lost for ever. The dam is the biggest in the world and has two very large ship lock staircases.
