Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydropower project, opened free to Chinese tourists, including overseas Chinese and those from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, beginning Sept 25, 2014.
According to Xinhua, it is rare for Chinese scenic areas to eliminate ticket fees, and there have been many complaints about high admission fees in tourist spots across the country.
Chinese tourists can make an online reservation or walk up with an identity card. The maximum number of tourists each day is restricted to 40,000. It is notable that expats will still need to pay the 105 yuan ($17) admission ticket.
