| The Sanxia Dam (Three
Gorge Dam)is one of the largest in the world and built
in the Yangtze River area. Sun Wen and Mao Zedong once
dreamed of making an artificial lake in the canyon where
the dam is located.A huge reservoir will appear after
the dam construction comes to an end. Its total length
will be 660 kilometers, equivalent to the distance between
Tokyo and Kobe. In terms of one-way traffic, ships whose
capacity totaling 50 million tons per year will be able
to navigate the distance between Sanxia and Chongqing. |

The Shennongjia Biosphere
Reserve belongs to the east branch of the Dabashan Mountains
which connect the Tibetan Plateau in West China with
the Yangze plain in East China. The area covers high
elevation differences from the lowest valley (420 meters)
to the highest peak (3,106 meters above sea level) and
therefore offers a wide spectrum of vegetation zones.
Agricultural areas concentrate on the mountain feet (up
to 1,600 meters above sea level) whereas tea plantations
can extend up to 2,100 meters above sea level. Before
the establishment of the biosphere reserve in 1982, wood
logging destroyed some primary forests in the region.
Today, forests are protected and, with 2,762 species
of vascular plants and the occurrence of a golden monkey
(Rhinopithecus roxellana) population, the biosphere reserve
is considered to be a reen Gene Pool of China.
There are 8,370 permanent residents in the transition area (2001). Increasing
tourism in the biosphere reserve decreases the demand of local people to rely
only on natural resources, such as wood, farmland and animals. A working group
for community management has been established to alleviate still existing conflicts
of resource use and protection. |

| Wudang
Mount |
|
|
|
| Mount Wudang in Danjiang
City in northwestern Hubei Province is a sacred mountain
to Taoists. It covers an area of 400 kilometers. Here
the mountain peaks are high, forest thick and scenery
graceful. The main peak, the Heavenly Pillar Peak, rises
1,612 meters above sea level. Caves, springs, grotesque
rocks and streams are beautifully inlaid in the tranquil
valleys and among precipitous peaks.The most distinguishing
feature of Mount Wudang is the large Taoist architectural
complex. Making full use of the terrain featuring towering
mountains and deep valleys, more than 20,000 rooms were
built in spots where they most harmoniously blended with
the nearby woods, rocks and streams so that the man-built
structures and natural elements complimented each other.
The Gold Hall, built in 1416 on the top of the Heavenly
Pillar Peak, is the largest copper structure existing
in the country. It is 5.54 meters tall and 5.8 meters
wide. The walls were cast separately, but precisely and
well knit. All the statues of god and sacrificial vessels
are made of copper. Although 500 years have past, they
still glitter as before. |
