The Three Gorges Dam is a topic I want to discuss. How would you feel if you were a farmer along the Yangtze River?

How about a Chinese citizen in the flood plain of the Yangtze River?

A city-dwelling citizen?

I would like to hear your opinions.

The Chinese gov’t felt it was for the greater good of its nation.
They have done the project and now need to remedy the problems incidental to the project. Case closed.

Answer by rhys
well to be fair the chinese would probably pay the farmers and near by citizens to move and they will be set for life.
and as for the project itself, i think it looks beautifull and im all for it.

Answer by mt_zion_crusader
Well, It’d be cool if they could save that fish but its population is probably too low to save the species. Let’s hope for the best.

Will be going to China and take the new train to Tibet this June, please?

Question by : Will be going to China and take the new train to Tibet this June, please?
answer if you have done this trip or what you thought of it info etc. We are going to Guangzhou to Xining then take the train to Lhasa and spend about a week in Tibet. After we are going to Congquing and take a four day cruise up the Yangtze river. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated. I have been to China a couple times but not this trip. Thank you.

Answer by Love Shepherd
You are taking a trip that is often done by Western tourists and a fantastic trip over all. If you have traveled to China, you know the pitfalls, but you shouldn’t have any trouble. I did the trip down the Yangtze and it is beautiful. I thought the dam would have messed it up.
