We approached the Three Gorges Dam late in the afternoon but did not begin our actual transit through the five locks until late at night. The next morning, in sporadic light rain, we toured the visitor center. This hydroelectric dam is the world's largest in terms of installed generating capacity. While there are many positive and negative aspects of building the dam, no one can argue the great benefit it will have of helping to reduce smog in China.
