Happy Tycoon

Midway Inn is a very interesting inn. This inn is also the inn with the most foreign travel friends, and it is very famous among foreign travel friends.

There is a balcony called Shuangshiyou and a toilet that is recognized as the best toilet in the world.

The Midway Inn is located in Bendiwan. His guest room is facing the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. When you open the doors and windows, you can see the Thirteen Jade Dragon Peaks that seem to be within reach. And if you are full at night, you can drink and chat on the balcony of Shuangshiyou, and look at the starry sky is very pleasant.

It is worth mentioning that the owner of this inn is very fluent in English, and it is not difficult for Yang Jing to communicate with him in English. Moreover, there are really many foreign donkey friends in this inn, and it is very lively.

As for the frighteningly famous No. 1 toilet in the world in this inn, that's not just casual talk. Whose toilet can face the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?

At the door of the public toilet, there are two wooden signs, one of which reads, Damn shit, under the east window, you can see the jade dragon leisurely. Below it is The World's No. 1 Toilet, and the inscription is Xia Ke Xing.

On the other wooden sign, there are words No. 1 Toilet in the World and Recognized in the World, which makes people laugh.

Gege was the first to discover this world's number one toilet. In the evening, after Yang Jing and the others finished their meal, Ge Ge went to the toilet and found this smelly toilet. Afterwards, Yang Jing and the others all experienced the style of this No. 1 toilet in the world - it was all smelly , this place won't let you have no smell when you poop just because it's the best toilet in the world

The next day the rain stopped, but the weather was still not sunny, but the visibility was quite high. This kind of day without the scorching sun is the most suitable for hiking.

Walking on the small path dug out of the cliff in Zhonghutiao, climbing the iron ladder that is tens of meters high and almost straight up and down, you can look down at the Jinsha River hundreds of meters below, and look at the majestic and vicissitudes of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. , It really makes people have an impulse that can't be controlled.

Shouting violently at the sky and the river, to vent the impulse in my heart, I will feel extra refreshed.

At noon, the four of them didn't go to the inn to eat, but sat in a condescending place, watching the invincible scenery, eating the food they brought, and sipping beer in small sips. It felt really refreshing .

The scenery here is really good. If I hadn't come here in person, I would never have imagined such a beautiful scenery. Gege expressed emotion, and Yang Jing and Sun Aoran nodded.

Sun Aoran said: I didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding place so close to me. If I knew how beautiful this place is, I should have come to see it long ago.

Zhao Shuang shook his head and said, Now that you only see the beauty here, do you know that this famous Grand Canyon is now facing the cruel prospect of disappearing?

Disappear? Gege looked at Zhao Shuang in surprise, An earthquake?

Sun Aoran also said: I know that if I walk a little further down, I can see the famous high gorge out of Pinghu Lake. It seems that when the Lijiang earthquake occurred in 1996, the Haba Snow Mountain collapsed and formed a mountain there. The barrier lake also forms an excellent scenery. But the big earthquake that year did not destroy the Tiger Leaping Gorge. I really can’t think of anything else that can make the Tiger Leaping Gorge disappear. Unless it really happened here A major earthquake with a scale of 8.0 or above. But it’s better not to do that, that kind of earthquake is too scary.”

Zhao Shuang glanced at her boyfriend and said, Could it be that only an earthquake can destroy Tiger Leaping Gorge? Auran, don't forget what kind of work we are doing now.

Sun Aoran was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, You mean a hydropower station?

Zhao Shuang nodded, That's right, the hydropower station almost destroyed Tiger Leaping Gorge.

After a pause, Zhao Shuang said quietly: Actually, the construction of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Dam caused a series of incidents at that time and even in the past few years. I remember that when we first entered the new century, that When I was still young, I was in elementary school, and then there was news that someone wanted to build a dam on the Jin’an Bridge in Yongsheng.”

Sun Aoran slapped his forehead and asked in surprise: Jin'an Bridge? Isn't that not far from our construction site?

Zhao Shuang nodded in agreement, I don't know where the news came from at the beginning of the last century, saying that the country has confirmed that the Tiger Leaping Gorge Water Conservancy Project has been listed as one of the major projects developed by the country recently, and that Tiger Leaping Gorge The drop is as high as 196 meters. It is an ideal hydropower base. From the first bay of the Yangtze River to the mouth of the Yabi River in PZH, the Jinsha River, which is more than 560 kilometers long, has a drop of 838 meters. cascade hydropower stations.

When Sun Aoran heard this, his brows immediately frowned. As a power builder, as soon as Zhao Shuang said this, he immediately realized that although the plan was good, the damage to the environment was quite severe.

Sure enough, Zhao Shuang went on to say: In that era, our country was developing faster and faster, and the demand for energy was getting higher and higher. Due to the low operating cost, fast income, and high return of hydropower, it soon became the most sought after by major banks. It is also the strategy of China's major state-owned power companies to seize the sphere of influence. Among them, Tiger Leaping Gorge, which has natural excellent geographical conditions, has naturally become the first choice of major state-owned power companies.

Among them, Yanjing Huarui Group, a private power giant from Yanjing, has set its sights on Jin'an Bridge. According to Huarui Group's design, construction of the Jin'an Bridge Dam began in 2002, and the Jinsha River will be closed by 2005. In those few years, Lijiang’s annual fiscal revenue was only about 200 million yuan, and if the Jin’anqiao Hydropower Station was completed, this hydropower station alone would increase Lijiang’s net income by 400 million yuan a year! Therefore, the LJ Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were enthusiastic We welcome and attach great importance to Huarui Group's Jin'anqiao hydropower project, and regard it as the number one project, and give the green light to this project from top to bottom.

But the fact is that the fifth-level hydropower station in the planned 'one reservoir and eight levels' has not been approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Development and Reform Commission. Even after the Jin'an Bridge Dam broke ground, the Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Environmental Protection. Talents are shocked that this project with an investment of more than 10 billion yuan has not been approved by the relevant departments.

Our local residents are all fighting against the construction of the dam. Although the construction of the Jin'an Bridge dam has little impact on the Tiger Leaping Gorge, who can guarantee that once the fifth-level dam is completed, it will still be safe? Will someone continue to covet the Tiger Leaping Gorge upstream of the Jin'an Bridge?

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: After the protests of our local people, and the fact that the Jin'an Bridge Dam is indeed an illegal project, this project has been delayed for several years. But unfortunately, our protests are in front of the capital. So powerless, the dam finally passed the approval of the state and was officially put into operation. Fortunately, Jin'an Bridge is still some distance away from Tiger Leaping Gorge, and the construction of the Jin'an Bridge dam did not cause a catastrophic blow to Tiger Leaping Gorge.

However, the successful construction of the Jin'an Bridge Dam has also made those power groups see the benefits. Now, near Xiazhari, downstream of Xiahutiao, the construction of the fourth-level dam of 'one reservoir and eight levels' is about to start. Compared to Regarding the downstream Jin'an Bridge Dam, we don't know what impact it will have on the upstream Tiger Leaping Gorge and even the First Bend of the Yangtze River once the dam is completed.

However, it is estimated that if the dam is completed, the water level of the river within 200 kilometers upstream of the Tiger Leaping Gorge will at least rise sharply. By then, 200,000 mu of high-quality cultivated land will be submerged, and 100,000 people will face As for Tiger Leaping Gorge, it is impossible to retain the current spectacular scenery. By then, this place will become a huge reservoir!

Ge Ge was also a little anxious when he heard this, Then why does the country have the heart to let Tiger Leaping Gorge and the first bay of the Yangtze River disappear under the water? Why does the country let such a thing happen?

Zhao Shuang shook his head with a wry smile and said, This matter is still uncertain, but we locals have been fighting this matter, but we don't know what the result will be. So, since you are here today, let's take a look here , Maybe when you come here again in a few years, you won’t be able to see the scenery here again.”

Several people fell silent.

What Zhao Shuang said is true. Even now, the dam under construction in the lower reaches of Tiger Leaping Gorge can be clearly seen from the satellite map. No one knows what will happen when the dam is actually built.

Alas, when is this, the country doesn't seem to be short of energy, right? How is it allowed to build such a dam that destroys the ecological environment here?

The Three Gorges Dam has already made the Three Gorges no longer have the former scenery, and the series of hydropower stations on the Nujiang River have also abruptly turned the Nujiang River into a series of pearls. Isn’t this a lesson?

This sudden topic made several people feel a little heavy, and they didn't even have much interest in playing.

It’s not that the dam cannot be built. The most important thing is whether the dam will cause a devastating blow to the local ecology and whether this world-famous tourist attraction will disappear completely when the dam is built.

While building a dam to develop the economy, it would be best if the local characteristic scenery can be guaranteed to be safe and healthy. There should be a way to get the best of both worlds, but this is beyond the control of the four of them.

The trip to Tiger Leaping Gorge certainly shocked Yang Jing and the others, but the sudden topic on the last day made the trip somewhat heavy.

After bidding farewell to Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang, Yang Jing and Gege drove back to Spring City. The two of them have been out for a week, and now it's time to go back and prepare for the engagement
