6月10日,China Daily(《中国日报》英文版)专版聚焦三峡水利枢纽和三峡水运新通道工程向世界传递中国力量、宜昌荣光。
Today (June 10), China Daily dedicates an entire section to the Three Gorges Project, showcasing China’s strength and Yichang’s pride to the world.

The Three Gorges Project, born from China's early 20th-century dream of national strength and rejuvenation, has become the world's largest water management and hydropower project after decades of deliberation and construction. Delivering integrated benefits in flood control, power generation, navigation and water resource management, it has profoundly reshaped the economic landscape of the Yangtze River — the world's third longest river — while providing robust support for the sustained advancement of Chinese modernization.
三峡工程缘起于20世纪初中国强国复兴的梦想。历经数十年论证与建设,这座全球规模最大的水利枢纽及水电工程全面发挥防洪、发电、航运、水资源调度等综合效益,深刻改变了世界第三长河长江沿线的经济格局,也为中国现代化建设持续推进提供了坚实支撑。
