Many hydropower stations have been built on the Yangtze River. Do you know how many?

Xiluodu Hydropower Station in Sichuan Province 1

Xiluodu Hydropower Station is the backbone project of the national "power transmission from west to east", which is located on the Jinsha River at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. The power station mainly supplies power to East China and Central China, taking into account the power demand of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. It is one of the nearest backbone power sources for the "West-to-East Power Transmission" in Jinsha River and the largest hydropower station on Jinsha River.

2. Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station in Yunnan Province

Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station is located in Shuifu City, Yunnan Province. In the lower reaches of Jinsha River bordering Xuzhou District, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, it is only1500m away from the water-rich city. It is the last hydropower station in Jinsha River hydropower base built by Three Gorges Group.

3. Three Gorges Dam-Hubei Province

The Three Gorges Dam is located in Sandouping Town, Yichang City, Hubei Province, China, 38 kilometers away from the downstream Gezhouba Water Control Project. It is the main project of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, the core landscape of the Three Gorges Dam tourist area and the eastern end of the Three Gorges Reservoir, the largest hydropower project in the world today.

4. Gezhouba Water Control Project in Hubei Province

Gezhouba Water Control Project is located in Yichang City, Hubei Province, China, at the end of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, 2.3km downstream of Nanjinguan, the outlet of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

5. Ertan Hydropower Station in Sichuan Province

Ertan Hydropower Station is located in the lower reaches of Yalong River at the junction of Yanbian County and Miyi County, Panzhihua City, southwestern Sichuan Province, China. The dam site is 33 kilometers away from the intersection of Yalong River and Jinsha River and 46 kilometers away from Panzhihua City. It is the first hydropower station developed in cascade in Yalong River Hydropower Base, with Guandi Hydropower Station in the upstream and Tongzilin Hydropower Station in the downstream.

Yangtze River landform:

From Heyuan to Hekou, the whole terrain is high in the west and low in the east, forming three huge steps. The first level consists of the plateau and Hengduan Mountain in southern Qinghai and western Sichuan, with an elevation of 3500 ~ 5000 m generally. The second level consists of Qinba Mountain, Sichuan Basin and Hubei-Guizhou Mountain in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with an elevation of 500 ~ 2000 m generally. ..

Jiangyuan is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the "roof of the world", with many peaks above 6000 meters above sea level and snow all year round. The rivers in Jinsha River are strongly cut, forming an alpine canyon about 2000 kilometers long. The river bed gradient is large, the beaches are full of rapids, and the hydraulic resources are very rich. Among them, the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge is 17km long and has a drop of 2 10m.
