Baiheliang Underwater Museum

The museum extends 1,600 meters in length and 15 meters in width, featuring glass observation tunnels beneath the surface of the Yangtze River.

Construction of the Three Gorges Dam in 2002 led to the submersion of White Crane Ridge, prompting the creation of this museum to preserve ancient water level records.

The site contains 165 inscriptions carved over 1,200 years, including fish figures, calligraphy, and sculptures of Bodhisattvas documenting the Yangtze River water levels.

Visitors descend 40 meters underwater via a 91-meter escalator and walk through a 146-meter corridor to reach the observation area with 23 viewing windows.

The museum employs an arch-shaped glass structure filled with purified water to maintain external pressure and protect the historical stone inscriptions.
