The dam, divided into two phases -- the right and the left banks, is situated near the Xiling Gorge, the eastern most gorge of the Three Gorges on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The completion of the construction for the dam, 2,309 meters long and 185 meters high, marks the principal part of the project is done.
