Baihetan Dam, Hydroelectric power station on Jinsha River, Yunnan and Sichuan, China.
Baihetan Dam is a hydroelectric facility on the Jinsha River spanning Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. The structure houses 16 generating units that convert flowing water into electricity.
Construction began in 2017 and finished in 2022 when all generating units connected to the grid. The project represented a major infrastructure development for the region.
The construction required the relocation of nearby residents, but brought work opportunities to local communities. Today the facility remains part of the economic life of the region.
The dam sits in a mountainous region with limited road access, so careful planning is needed before visiting. Travelers should research local conditions and transportation options in advance.
The facility's tunnel network stretches hundreds of kilometers underground and surpasses many known road systems in scale. This vast underground complex runs largely hidden beneath the landscape.
