The trip starts from Yongliang land and checks in

Chapter 89 Departure, Three Gorges Dam!
"Tsk, you don't want me to have a good sleep on purpose, do you wash your face?"

"Gluck cluck!!"

The little mink in his arms enjoyed Zhang Xiao's constant stroking, responded excitedly, and pointed at A Chai with his little paw.

Only then did Zhang Xiao realize that A Chai's face was still wet, apparently he hadn't wiped it clean after washing.

I couldn't help rubbing the little mink's furry head again. Since I taught it to wash its face last time, this guy has been very diligent every morning and evening, and even forced A Chai to be with it.

"Not bad, good, worthy of praise, A Chai, you are also very good, well, I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth to prepare breakfast."

As he said that, Zhang Xiao pushed the two little guys in his arms aside, waited for him to get dressed, and then climbed down from the ladder, only to find that Chen Xi was actually cooking, and it was almost the end.

Chen Xi, who was finishing the work, heard the movement around him, turned his head, saw Zhang Xiao, immediately showed a smug smile, and two small dimples appeared on his face: "You are awake, I boiled porridge, and still Steamed steamed buns and buns~~~" "Go and wash before eating."

Actually steamed steamed buns and buns?Chen Xi woke up very early!

Zhang Xiao said with a strange face: "Eh, why do you cook by yourself, why don't we go to the breakfast shop outside?"

"You, a young lady, still have such cooking skills?"

"What you said, you think I'm really the kind of pampered person who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers!!" Chen Xi deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Brother Xiao, let me ask you if you want to eat or not!!"

"Haha, eat it, why don't you eat it, otherwise, why don't you just feed it to Chai?"

Zhang Xiao grinned, then ran to the bathroom to wash up.

This kind of life seems to be a bit good. When he wakes up in the morning, someone prepares breakfast and waits for him. He also discovered the food prepared in the food bowls of A Chai and Xiao Mink, especially how to feed Xiao Mink. Do your homework.

"6666 is a good woman at home!"

"Sister Xi is too virtuous hahaha~"

"Wow, this is a young couple~"

"Although Miss Lu Xue, Zhong Liyue, and even Miss Ziqi are unlikely, it is still worth celebrating. Long live the Xiaoxi Party!!"

"You guys are outrageous, what the hell is the Xiaoxi Party?"

Chen Xi's steamed buns and steamed buns were eaten for breakfast, and just smelling the aroma whetted one's appetite, let alone A Chai, almost half of the buns and steamed buns went into his stomach.

The breakfast only lasted about half an hour, and Zhang Xiao, who was full, sat on the sofa, looked at Chen Xi next to him with a smile and joked: "I found that your cooking skills are also good, but let me tell you in advance, you I won’t pay extra for this cooking!!”

Of course, this is just a joke, just talking, the big deal is that I and Chen Xi take turns cooking, or she can cook as she pleases, I don't care.

Hearing what he said, Chen Xi just curled his lips and said, "Cut! I know you are an unscrupulous boss. You are lucky to have a free cook like me here!"

"Haha, no, I'd better have enough food and clothing for myself! Who knows what dark dishes you can cook."

"Brother Xiao, how dare you look down on me??"

Just like this, eating and drinking enough, while laughing and cursing, washing the dishes and cleaning the table, it was quickly completed with the joint efforts of the two, Zhang Xiao came to the driver's seat and was ready to drive, while Chen Xi quickly sat in the passenger seat, Fasten your seat belt, while filming VLOG, can't wait to go to the next attraction!

Of course, at this time, Zhang Xiao has not joined the donkey group to go on a trip together. Their itinerary is completely different from his own. After all, they will meet in Shennongjia at that time.

Today, Zhang Xiao’s preliminary plan is to visit the Three Gorges Dam for the first half of the day, then go to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in Yichang in the afternoon, and then go to the vicinity of Shennongjia tomorrow. Of course, the specific itinerary still needs to be taken step by step.

While driving the car, Zhang Xiao turned on the car music. The soft music and the scenery outside the window made his thoughts drift away...

After about 10 minutes, Zhang Xiao drove the car directly to the riverside wharf.

He saw the sky on the lower reaches of the river, a red sun was rising slowly, and the morning glow was all over the sky. It was really like "sunrise, river flowers are red than fire, and spring is as green as blue." Although it is early summer, the scene is similar, washed by yesterday's rain The sky and the earth are also very fresh.

"Let's start from here, first take the cruise ship to the Three Gorges Dam, and of course the RV will be parked at this pier." Anyway, the security function of this RV is very complete, so there is no need to worry about any troubles.

After appreciating the poetic morning scenery, Zhang Xiao and Chen Xi boarded the scheduled cruise ship and waited patiently until 09:30. The three-story cruise ship blew its whistle and left the shore slowly. The speed is heading towards Gezhouba Dam upstream.

In order to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait in an all-round way, Zhang Xiao added dozens of yuan to the owner and boarded the top floor of the cruise ship, but the vicious sun drove Zhang Xiao and the others to the shade.Viewing angles are still limited.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really want to own a yacht of my own."

Chen Xi chuckled and said, "Brother Xiao, how much money have you saved? A yacht is not so cheap. The price of a large luxury yacht is generally tens of millions of yuan, a medium-sized yacht is more than 200 million yuan, and a small yacht is from hundreds of thousands to 200 yuan. Between [-] and [-], as the size of the yacht and the luxury of the interior decoration increase, the price also increases.”

"Oh yes, you should have millions of savings"

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly: "However, since I want to buy it, I want at least a medium-sized or even a large luxury yacht!! In short, you can relax!!"

"Wow, Brother Xiao has already started preparing to buy a cruise ship!!"

"Brother Xiao is becoming more and more wealthy now!!"

"Brother Xiao 6666"

"Looking forward to the day when I officially go to sea~~"

"Ahem upstairs, do you know what it means to go into the sea?"

"No way, Brother Xiao is going to go into the sea???"

"Why can't I understand what you are talking about??"

"The word "going to the sea" used to refer to engaging in certain industries, ahem, you understand~~"

"You guys, you're really too silly." Seeing these bullet screens, Zhang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

About half an hour later, the cruise ship arrived at the Gezhouba ship lock. The hull slowly moved into the roadway, the rear gate was closed tightly, and the front gate was slowly raised. Restart and drive forward.Looking back, the water level upstream is much higher than behind the downstream sluice.

The majestic Gezhouba slowly moved away from Zhang Xiao and the others until it faded out of their sight.

The boat speeded up, and I saw the green hills passing by on both sides of the bank, and the endless Yangtze River rolling in.The blue sky and white clouds, the bright sun, and the wind blowing on the river are really refreshing.

Entering the wide and sometimes narrow river, sometimes high and sometimes low mountains, this is about the Xiling Gorge River.

"A thousand miles of rivers alone are dangerous, and the Three Gorges and Thousands of Mountains are incomparably amazing!!"

I saw steep mountains on both sides of the bank, vines hanging upside down, bare mountain walls sometimes seen in the lush greenery, and the earthy yellow geological layers are horizontal, oblique or even vertical, just like the cross-section of a thousand-layer cake cut by the magic of time.I even lamented that nature used the giant rafters to chamfer, outline, dot, and dye to paint the landscape along the way into a beautiful ink scroll.

Looking at the Rufeng mountains, green trees and verdant cypresses on both sides of the strait, Zhang Xiao couldn't help feeling: "Life is like a white horse passing by, and the mountains, rivers and seas are eternal. Li Bai visited the mountains and rivers here. Leaving immortal poems, the poet has been dead for more than 300 years. In the long river of history, people are like a shooting star across the night sky. Since life is short, we must cherish it a hundred times.”

"Hahaha, I suddenly remembered that line of poem, "Among the colorful clouds of Baidi's farewell to the court, a thousand miles of rivers and tombs will be returned in one day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the light boat has already passed the ten thousand mountains."

"However, where does the sound of the apes come from on the two banks???"

"Are you stupid? We haven't reached the Three Gorges here yet."

Zhang Xiao smiled helplessly and explained: "Some viewers mistakenly mistaken that the front of Baidi City is the Kuimen landscape of the Three Gorges. Today, the Three Gorges can still hear the cries of apes. Apes usually live in the mountains. In order to better protect them , the staff also feed regularly.”

"It's not here yet!" "Anyway, the Three Gorges and the Baidi City scenic spot, let's go visit it in the afternoon."

The cruise ship drove to a place where the mountain was relatively gentle, and the number of houses at the foot of the mountain gradually increased. "Hey, there are dots of private houses halfway up the mountain, hidden in a piece of greenery, about a hundred meters apart from each other. How much manpower and financial resources does the country have to spend to climb up the cliff with electric poles for each family? The infrastructure madness deserves its reputation!! Ha ha"

"Looking up at the mountainside, there are vehicles in and out of the bushes. Now the mountain people here are no longer what we see on TV. They are crawling on the mountain trails with heavy backpacks on their backs. Their mountain roads are also convenient."

After another journey, Zhang Xiao and the others saw the stilted buildings and promenade on stilted feet at the foot of the mountain. The pile foundations were all inserted into the water, and the reflections were erratic, which was very interesting.There are many tourists there, and buses also come and go on the mountainside.

After walking for a while, I saw two relatively large ship repairing factories idle on the river beach on the left bank.

"I heard that for the sake of environmental protection along the Yangtze River, nearby factories and enterprises will be relocated. These two factories are probably waiting to be relocated."

"The green water and green mountains of the motherland are mountains of gold and silver, which need to be cherished and protected."

"Haha, brother Xiao is very enlightened!!!"

"Brother Xiao's ideological consciousness is too high, give me a thumbs up!!"

"As expected of an anchor bursting with positive energy!!"

From time to time, large cruise ships approached or surpassed Zhang Xiao and the others, such as "Golden X" and "President X", with a hull length of 90 meters and a height of five floors.When docked and disembarked, I saw many foreigners disembarking from the "President", most of them were elderly couples. They probably came here in the name of the Three Gorges Dam, and visited the beautiful Yangtze River landscape by the way.

After going ashore, Zhang Xiao and Chen Xi crossed a cable-stayed iron cable bridge to the Three Gorges Dam area, and then took a car to the first scenic spot - the viewing platform, which is actually a very tall and independent mountain. , take three elevators to the top.

"I have to sigh with emotion. Only then did I realize the feeling of "I will be on the verge of reaching the top, and I can see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance"!"

Then board a circular viewing platform, as if in the clouds, and have a bird's-eye view of the dam area, with a panoramic view of the dam, ship lock, reservoir, etc.The Yangtze River is like a white ribbon, meandering from the green field stretching to the sky, and winding away, it is so beautiful.

"Our journey today starts from the Three Gorges Dam. A bridge spans the north and south, the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare, the stone wall of the Xijiang River is erected, the clouds and rain in Wushan are cut off, and the high gorge comes out of Pinghu Lake. A big man has used this as early as decades ago. The poem expresses my grand vision of building the Three Gorges Dam. Today, the Three Gorges Dam has finally been completed after 15 years. It is the largest water conservancy project in the world. So today I decided to take a look at the largest in the world."

"Which big shot??"

"Primary school student upstairs, haven't you heard of this poem?"

"Great man, silently admire a wave"

"Mr. Li, my idol forever."

At the viewing platform, Zhang Xiao and Chen Xi took the two little ones to breathe the fresh air on the mountain and the slight sea breeze from the river.

Let Xiao Diao and A Chai play by themselves, while he and Chen Xi enjoy the scenery.

At this moment, he is standing on Tanziling, with a panoramic view of the dam and the Yangtze River.The red sun rising in the east makes people feel very excited.Looking far away, the Yangtze River is blocked by a steel giant dam, some of the water turns into clouds, drifting through the sky, or turns into clouds, looking around among the mountains. At this moment, on his left is the permanent The construction site of the ship lock, on the right is the construction site of the temporary navigable ship lock.

Zhang Xiao was very excited: "I just heard about it before, but now I finally see the panorama of the Three Gorges Dam. I can vaguely see six huge gates on the dam, about 100 meters high, like the gates of the world!"

"This gate is called a lock gate. When the boat enters, the gate is closed, and the boat is slowly raised, so that the boat goes from downstream to upstream, and finally opens the gate and the boat can go."

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of Chinese people.

After resting for a while, I came down from the viewing platform and prepared to go to an exhibition hall to watch pictures and sand table models of the Three Gorges, and explain the whole process of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam to the audience.

Chinese and foreign tourists gathered in the lobby, and a male guide told them in both Chinese and English, but the guide was surrounded by tourists, which seemed very noisy and crowded, and he couldn't hear what the guide was saying at all.

Immediately, Zhang Xiao talked here, explaining to the audience in the live broadcast room, mentioning that from Mr. X Wen to the predecessors of New China, they had carefully conceived for the construction of the dam until 00 after the opening. Construction began in December of the fourth year, and it was completed in 15, spanning two centuries. It took [-] years to finally realize the century-old dream of the Chinese people.

For a while, many tourists came to listen to his explanation attentively, which attracted the attention of some staff in the exhibition hall, and they looked at Zhang Xiao with admiration.

There are even many tourists who think he is a volunteer in charge of explaining! !
"The completion of the dam has greatly improved the flood control capacity and hydropower generation capacity of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, improved shipping conditions, and fully exerted its role in drought resistance. It has also become a beautiful landscape of the Yangtze River for thousands of miles. It attracts tourists from home and abroad. It is really a success in contemporary times. , the benefits are in the future."

After leaving the scenic spot, it is a close visit to the Three Gorges Dam.
