长江三峡工程，是当今世界上最大的水利枢纽工程。1992年4月3日，第七届全国人民代表大会第五次会议通过了《关于兴建长江三峡工程的决议》；1993年开始施工准备，1994年12月14日正式开工；1997年11月8日实现大江截流，标志着第一阶段建设任务圆满完成；1998年，三峡工程进入第二阶段的建设。又经过6年苦战，2003年6月1日，水库下闸蓄水；6月16日，双线五级船闸开始通航；7月10日，第一台70万千瓦机组并网发电，至此，第二阶段建设目标全面实现。举世瞩目的三峡工程开始发挥效益，回报社会。

    工程开工十年，在党中央、国务院的亲切关怀和全国人民的大力支援下，全体三峡建设者怀着"为我中华、志建三峡"的豪情壮志，不辱使命，团结拼博，把中国人民的梦想变成了现实。

    本展馆旨在运用照片、图表、模型、实物、动画、字画和影视等诸多形式简要介绍三峡工程的历史，记录三峡工程十年建设的过程，展示三峡工程的综合效益。彰显三峡建设者的精神风貌，反映三峡工程体制创新、管理创新和科技创新的成果。

    作为中华民族全面建设小康社会的重要的基础性工程，三峡工程场面壮阔，气势恢弘，技术复杂，内涵深邃，不是几百件展品所能全面反映的。三峡工程还在建设过程中。全体三峡建设者正在为第三阶段工程全面实现一流的目标而努力奋斗。

    The Three Gorges Project (TGP) is the largest water conservancy project ever built in the world. It was on April 3rd 1992 that "The Resolution to Construct the Three Gorges Project" was approved at the 7th National People's Congress; in 1993 that the construction preparation work started; on December 14th 1994 that the construction of the project set off; on November 8th 1997, the day of the River Closure, that the 1st phase construction mission had been achieved; in 1998 that the 2nd phase construction was ushered in; on June 1st 2003, 6 strenuous years later, that the reservoir of the Project began to store water; on June 16th 2003 that the twin-5-stage shiplock of the Project was put into service; on July 10th 2003 that the first set of units with 700 MW capacity was connected to the grid and started its power generation and that the 2nd phase construction mission has been fulfilled. Thus, the Three Gorges Project which has drawn world attention began to return the society by its benefits.

    With the solicitude and strong support from the Central Government and the whole nation and with great ambition of "Being Determined to Build Three Gorges Project for the Chinese Nation" inside, all the TGP constructors worked together and strived for the dream, and the beautiful dream now has come into reality after ten-year's continuous joint efforts.

    In this Exhibition Hall, you will see the brief history of TGP along with its construction introduction in this ten years, comprehensive benefits, workers in the construction as well as the innovation output of TGP project system, management and science and technology in terms of photographs, charts, models, samples, flash, writings, pictures and videos.

    As an important infrastructure for the nation to build a well-off society in an all-round way, it is hard to express the grand and vigorous site, complicated technology and profound meaning with such only hundreds of exhibited items. Currently, TGP is still under construction and all the TGP workers are keeping going ahead for the fulfillment of the 3rd phase construction of the Project.

    There are still another 6 years for TGP waiting to be explored. We believe that, in the coming years, here we could show more and you will find more.
