Chongqing

Stretching a total of about 3,964 miles, the Yangtze River has played a considerable role in the lives of Chinese citizens for thousands of years. Along with serving as a major form of water transportation and trading, Asia’s longest river is considered a key role in China’s agriculture and economic system. Where the river runs through Sandouping, one would find the Three Gorges Dam—the largest, and possibly the most infamous, dam in the world. Even though the Chinese government had intentions of using the dam to control flooding and generate power, the Three Gorges Dam has proven itself to be an environmental catastrophe for the Chinese. Even before the Three Gorges Dam was built, the Yangtze River was still considered to be a “polluted river.” However, the construction of the dam worsened the issue to far more serious measures. For instance, since the placement of the Three Gorges Dam, eutrophication—the process by which nutrients, such as nitrogen, are heavily deposited in an ecosystem—of the river has greatly increased. Before the construction, nitrogen was evenly deposited throughout the river. However, with the dam, nitrogen is building up in the river, as the dam blocks it from flowing freely. Although eutrophication can be beneficial for bodies of water to a certain extent, it can also be extremely harmful to the rivers and lakes in which it occurs—to a point where it can be considered a pollution process. For example, eutrophication causes an excess of marine plants…

When I was a child, whenever I found there was no more moisture on the outside of the cup of the refrigerated milk, I knew that fall had come to Chongqing. Chongqing is foggy for the most of time, especially during fall. In fall, it rains frequently, mostly during late nights - poets throughout Chinese history describe it as "night rain in the Ba Mountains".
