As night falls, colorful lights lit up the sky in Yichang. Cruise ships slowly passed by the river, creating a light show. Located at the junction of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Yichang has become a well-known tourist city and a veritable “hydropower city of the world” because of the Three Gorges, the Three Gorges Project and the Gezhouba Project.
