June 29, 2017 - I actually recorded a seven minute video of us being lowered in the lift however it is way to large to post on Flickr. It was an exciting experience! Sailing aboard Chang Jiang SanXia 5 in the Ship Lock Lift which allows ships to be raised/lowered to pass the Three Gorges Dam. This saves time instead of navigating through the lock system at the dam which larger ships must navigate. Three Gorges Dam located in the Hubei province, China.
