Ever wondered how 2 billion tonnes of goods glide smoothly along Asia’s mighty Yangtze River? The answer lies in a five-level engineering marvel near the Three Gorges Dam – a ship lock so massive it’s like an aquatic elevator for cargo giants!
In Hubei Province, this ‘river staircase’ helps ships navigate what was once a treacherous waterway, lifting them up or down 113 meters to connect China’s industrial heartland. Engineers describe it as a ‘game-changer’, not just for transport but also for preventing droughts and floods.
Fun fact: The system handles 100 million tonnes of cargo capacity annually – that’s like moving Mount Everest in shipping containers… twice!
CGTN’s new series Eyes Over Hubei dives deep into how this innovation fuels China’s economy while protecting ecosystems. Reporter Morag Hobbs puts it best: ‘It’s where human ingenuity dances with nature’.
