Tanziling tourist area of the Three Gorges Project

Tanziling tourist area of the Three Gorges Project

Tanziling tourist area of the Three Gorges project is the earliest developed scenic spot in the Three Gorges dam area. It is named after its top viewing platform, which looks like an inverted jar. The scenic spot is located at the dam construction survey point, with an altitude of 262.48 meters.

Since 1997, Yichang city of Hubei Province has gradually increased its investment in Tanziling tourist area of the Three Gorges Project. In 2000, it was rated as one of the first national AAAA scenic spots.

Introduction

Tanziling scenic spot is the commanding height of the Three Gorges construction site and the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of the Three Gorges Project. Tanziling is named after the image of an inverted jar. The total area of the scenic spot is about 100000 square meters. The whole scenic spot includes the viewing platform, relief group, iron and steel book, yinianjiangshi model room and green belt. It comprehensively shows the Three Gorges culture with a long history, and expresses the distinct theme of "one water for people, turning water into benefit, and man conquering nature".

Tanziling is named for its mountain shape, which is similar to the jar made by Sichuan people for pickles. With an altitude of 262.48 meters, it is the commanding height within the land acquisition area of 15.28 square kilometers in the Three Gorges dam area. From the top of Tanziling, you can have a panoramic view of the construction of the Three Gorges dam area, enjoy the beautiful scenery of huangniuyan in Xiling Gorge and the perspective of Zigui County.

Tanziling is not only a scenic spot for understanding the Three Gorges culture, enjoying the beautiful scenery and publicizing the Three Gorges project, but also an excellent place for patriotism education. Tanziling has become a synonym for the Three Gorges construction site. Jiang Zemin, Li Peng, Zhu Rongji and other party and state leaders have visited the site. Tanziling is the first choice for Chinese and foreign tourists to visit the Three Gorges construction site. As a tourist attraction, Tanziling has convenient transportation, complete tourist facilities, good safety, health and communication conditions, rich tourism commodities, perfect comprehensive management, powerful environmental protection and outstanding grade of tourism resources. During the construction of the Three Gorges project, the annual number of visitors has reached 400000 to 500000, including more than 100000 foreign guests. The National Tourism Administration has fully affirmed this and awarded the national AAAA scenic spot.

The origin of Tanziling

It is said that Dayu managed the flood three times and didn't enter. With the help of Shenniu, he opened Kuimen and opened a 400 mile waterway. The people of Chuanjiang River were grateful and rewarded with 24 pigs and a jar of good wine. When he arrived at sandaoping, he saw the sacred cow flying away, leaving only an image on the high mountain, which was later called huangniuyan by the common people. That Dayu also tracked down Shenniu and left a huge stone as a memorial. People were deeply moved and refused to leave for a long time, so that the giant boat was waiting in the river. As a result, the giant boat turned into an island - Zhongbao island. The pigs on the boat were thrown into the river and turned into 24 reefs, while the jar of wine was put on the left bank and turned into Tanziling, which has been handed down to the present day. It is said that every sunny day, breeze blowing, peak river, wine drunk, really intoxicating.

The whole park is divided into three layers from top to bottom with increasing height. It is mainly composed of model exhibition hall, Wannian river bottom stone, Dajiang river closure stone, foundation stone of Three Gorges dam site, yinban Tianshu and Tanziling viewing platform. There are also spectacular fountains, beautiful waterfalls, winding streams and green lawns running through the park. When you look around, you can see movement in stillness and stillness in movement, as if you are in a wonderful place Garden.

Wannian river bottom stone

Jiangdi stone is made of granite and weighs more than 20 tons. We are used to call it "Wannian Jiangdi stone". Wannian does not mean that it only exists for 10000 years or tens of thousands of years. Wannian is just an approximate number, which shows that it has a long history. In fact, according to the research of scientists, it has a history of 800 million years. People can understand the ancient past of the Yangtze River from it, and let people stand in front of it and feel the vicissitudes of the world. There are also some boreholes left by the drilling machine on the stone, which were left by the first group of hydropower experts and geological explorers when they inspected the dam site. It embodies the dream of several generations of Chinese people, and now the dream is gradually becoming a reality, so that countless Chinese people continue to inspire themselves, forge ahead and explore a new future. This stone was dug out of the foundation pit of the cofferdam. Some friends may ask why this huge stone is in this shape and what it looks like? What's the point? In fact, this is what it is. When it was dug out, it was formed after a long period of river erosion. As for what its shape looks like, let's imagine for ourselves.

River closure stone

The river closure stone, which weighs 28 tons, is placed here as a symbolic symbol and a symbol of water town. In 1981, the stone used for river closure of Gezhouba was only half of that, which was 8 times larger. Then in 2003, when we cut off the diversion channel on the right bank, we will use the intercepting stone of this scale again. We can see that its shape is very distinctive - it's a triangular tetrahedron. Why this shape? Modern water control or the use of water energy is based on science. In engineering, the tetrahedral triangle, which is the most resistant to torrent and has the best stability, is used. When it is thrown into the water, its sharp edges and corners will quickly insert into the underwater sludge, so as to well block the impact of water flow on it. It has become a symbol of modern water conservancy projects. Below the river closure stone is a 20 meter diameter sunken square. If you look at it carefully, it is a diagram of eight trigrams, symbolizing the support of people from all directions for the construction of the Three Gorges Project and the harmony of time, place and people in the construction of the Three Gorges Project. Next to it, there are three steps. I think Chinese people's thoughts are all related to the word "three". For example, three three leads to nine, and nine comes to one. Our three gorges project is even more related to the word "three". Therefore, it not only reflects the modern engineering water conservancy, but also reflects a kind of cultural consciousness and philosophical thought of Chinese people.

Foundation stone of Three Gorges Dam Site

The foundation rock of the Three Gorges dam is a part of the basement of the ancient crystalline rock. The main rock is Proterozoic diorite plagioclase granite, which is a basic magmatic intrusion. The thickness of the rock is about 14 km. It has been formed for about 800 million years. It is gray white to light gray, with medium coarse texture and partial medium fine texture. It is mainly composed of plagioclase, quartz and Heitian hornblende. The rock is hard, complete and permeable The excavation pressure strength of micro new rock is 90 ~ 110MPa and the deformation modulus is 30 ~ 40gpa. Sandouping dam site is stable in geological structure, and the rock mass of dam foundation is of good quality. Foreign experts commented: "this is a piece of precious land given by God to China.".

Introduction to scenic spots

Runshengyuan relief group: Tanziling altar is surrounded by a group of large copper plate relief. On the front are three majestic men spinning hand in hand in the current, which is similar to the turbine volute, showing the powerful power of all things living on water. The above is tiger and the bottom is Phoenix, which expresses the geographical and cultural background of the Three Gorges Project. Because the Three Gorges dam area is between Bachu and Cuba, Cubans adore tiger and Chus adore Phoenix. On the other side of the river, the image of a modern man and Dayu overlaps. Dayu holds a shovel, which shows the long tradition of water control of the Chinese nation. The modern man holds the core of the foundation stone of the Three Gorges, which symbolizes the scientific concept of modern water energy utilization. Their backgrounds include the legendary twelve fairies who helped Dayu control the flood and later turned into the twelve peaks of Wushan mountain, as well as the scenes of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam and the immigrants in the reservoir area. The embossed center of the corresponding side is a modern young woman and a fairy, holding flowers and fruits, background plants, animal, fish, etc., and Oriental Pearl, Shanghai pier, the Bund building, Bachu music dance, Dazu stone carvings and so on. It reflects the Three Gorges Project's promoting role in the ecological environment, economic development along the river and tourism. In the center of a relief on the back is the scene of the legendary cattle helping Dayu to control the water and jointly open the gorge. The stones and water of the gorge spread out on both sides. Below are the trackers, boatman, white bone pagoda for burying the flood victims, and children's houses floating in the flood. The scene is very solemn and stirring. Wannian river bottom stone: the river bottom stone is made of granite and weighs more than 20 tons. It is used to be called "Wannian river bottom stone". Wannian does not mean that it only exists for 10000 years or tens of thousands of years. Wannian is just an approximate number, which shows that it has a long history.
