Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
On May 20, 2006, China finished building the Three Gorges Dam across the Yangtze River, a milestone for the world's largest hydroelectric project, as seen in an item in China Daily.
The construction plan was passed by the National People's Congress in 1992 to provide flood control and hydroelectric power.
