Part 1: This animation zooms into the Three Gorges Dam area. Initially, we arrive with a view of the dam and the reservoir in 2006. We then travel back in time, deconstructing the dam and draining the reservoir revealing what the Yangtze River looked like in 1987. We then travel forward through time, visiting the site in 2000, 2004, and 2006, watching the reservoir fill as construction of the dam continues. 3433 Rise of the Three Gorges Dam
