Day 18 last day of the cruise
After checking out we headed to san xia, but this time from a different view, we were on top of it! It was way better than the just seeing the walls out of our cabin windows but because of the fog we weren’t unable to capture the greatness of the dams. The dams were also used to generate electricity for 3 states in China
Reflection:
If Singapore was as big as China we could build our own dams we not only have water we also can generate our own electricity and we would not have to rely on other countries and we could be more independent than we are now! However international ties are also important, because we are a small country, with diplomatic ties with other bigger countries will not only strengthen our position globally too.
After visiting san xia I’ve leant that whatever the Chinese put their minds to do, they will complete it even if it takes longer than expected they will complete it. It was sun yat sun’s dream to build something so huge back in 1919 and it was only completed in 2005, so time doesn’t matter, it’s the determination and perseverance that is most important.
