The Three Gorges Dam, a monumental feat of engineering, is a hydroelectric power station situated on the Yangtze River in China. Completed in 2006, this gargantuan structure stands as the largest power station globally, harnessing the immense power of the Yangtze to generate clean energy. Stretching over 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) in length and towering 607 feet (185 meters) above the riverbed, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control, mitigating the devastating impact of seasonal floods that have historically plagued the region.
