Three Gorges Dam Locks

     Near the end of our Yangtze River Cruise, we had to go through the locks at the Three Gorges Dam during the night.  There were five locks that gradually lowered us 250 ft to the Yangtze River below.  Each lock was 900 ft long and 90 ft wide so 3-5 ships could be lowered at a time.
