Abstract: <正> The Gezhouba water conservancy project includes the first and largest hydropower station on the Yangtze River. The dam is 2606.5 metres long and 70 metres high with a water drop of 27 metres. Like a monster dragon lying at the outlet of the Xilin Gorge of the river, this spectacular dam blockades the east-running torrents and made them a source of money.
