Laxiwa Dam, China
From series “The Greatest Dams in the World”Year: 2009. Height: 250 meters.
In China, on the territory of Kingai province is Lasiva Dam, whose height is 250 meters. The huge dam on the Yellow River was built for the generation of electric power. The hydroelectric power plant was relatively recently commissioned in 2009. With a view to the fact that Lasiva dam is one of the largest on the planet, the shortest time for the construction work seems unbelievable.
The construction work on the hydropower plant lasted a few years after the first start. In 2010, a few energy blocks were still in operation. The tourists visit one of the most picturesque regions of China to hike through the rocky landscapes. And the most curious guests can walk along the dam and watch the calm Yellow River from the heights. Next - Cleuson-Dixence
