The Three Gorges is a multi-functional water control system comprising a 185-meter-high and 2,309-meter-long dam, five-tier locks on the south and north sides, and almost 34 turbo generators boasting a cumulative producing capacity of approximately 22.5 million kilowatts.
As the Three Gorges locks reportedly opened to trial navigation in 2003 (June), the freight passing via them rapidly increased.
