The year of the dog is over and the year of the pig is coming! On the occasion of the Spring Festival, Lao Mo wishes all his book friends a new year!
I wish all book friends a happy new year, a happy family, good health and all the best!
Now it is the rainy season in South America, so the water level of Parana River rises rapidly. Therefore, in the rainy season, it is not enough to point to the main dam for flood discharge and power generation. The sluice gate must be opened according to the change of water level.
The 386 meter long flood discharge gate should be called "overflow dam", which refers to the dam with flood discharge on the dam crest, also known as rolling dam.
According to the overflow form, overflow dams can be divided into three types: dam crest overflow, dam surface overflow and large orifice dam surface overflow. The overflow dam of yitaipu hydropower station is the large orifice dam face overflow dam.
This overflow dam with special flood discharge gate can adjust the reservoir water level and discharge flow. It is usually used in the downstream of the reservoir with large reservoir capacity. In the wet season, it can actively adjust the reservoir capacity to ensure the safety of the reservoir.
The overflow dam has 14 huge sluice gates with a width of 20 meters. When the sluice gate is fully opened, the formation is only spectacular, and ten thousand horses are not enough to describe its hundred and one.
At this time, although the flood gate was not fully opened, the heavy water pouring down from the gate still made a loud noise like thunder. Then, after the water passed through the 420 meter long flood discharge ramp below the gate, it aroused tens of meters high water flowers at the bottom of the ramp!
The water mist all over the sky shrouded the surrounding space of hundreds of meters. Tourists standing next to them will soon be wet all over by the water mist.
Yang Jing and others have seen Hydropower Station flood discharge on TV or in movies before, but how can there be such an immersive shock when they see that kind of scenery on the screen?
Anyway, Yang Jing and Ge Ge have been stunned.
If you don't stand by the flood gate, you can't feel the shock that can shake people's soul!
It takes a long time to discharge the flood, so it is impossible for tourists to stand here and watch the flood discharge of the dam. Therefore, after enjoying the extremely shocking scenery for a while, the bus continued to move forward. However, this time the bus no longer continued to go to Paraguay, but turned around at the dam crest and went directly to the dam crest of the main dam.
Standing on the 196 meter high crest of the main dam, you can feel the grandeur of this artificial building.
There is a two lane highway on the dam crest, and tourists are allowed to get off and take photos.
Therefore, above the dam crest, there is a reservoir with sparkling water on one side and a tall dam like a cliff on the other side. That feeling is also very shocking.
It's really hard to imagine that human beings could build such a magnificent building if they didn't see it with their own eyes. No wonder the Itaipu hydropower station was rated as one of the seven man-made wonders of the modern world immediately after it was repaired.
This title alone is enough to prove the greatness of the dam.
After playing in the hydropower station for nearly two hours until it was getting dark, the tourist was pulled back to the entrance of the hydropower station by bus.
Not to mention, this trip was not in vain. At least, I witnessed a miracle of modern architecture and felt the shock of the dam at a close distance, which is definitely worth the ticket price.
In evening, she returned to Dongfang City, but Yang Jing did not follow Comrade Wang back to Lijiang steamed stuffed bun shop for dinner. Starting from Asunci ó n early this morning, he drove for more than 300 kilometers and visited the Itaipu hydropower station in the afternoon. Even Yang Jing, who has always had good physical strength, felt a little tired.
Therefore, after declining Comrade Wang's invitation, the party stayed in a hotel booked in advance.
Yang Jing, the best hotel in Dongfang City they stayed in, Esther City Casino Hotel. But even the best hotel, its price also makes Yang Jing feel really too cheap.
Because the best executive suite in this hotel, the one-day room rate is only equivalent to more than 2000 yuan
Since it is a casino hotel, there is no casino.
Gambling is legal in Paraguay, so you can often see large and small casinos in this country. As the city with the largest number of foreigners in Paraguay, and Brazil across the river has always pursued a gambling ban policy, there are casinos everywhere.
Those Brazilians will have spinach here after crossing the Parana River.
Therefore, just today, after entering Dongfang City, Yang Jing saw no less than 20 casinos.
Of course, the casino in the este City Casino Hotel they are now staying in is naturally one of the top casinos in Oriental City.
But they were not very interested in spinach, and they were very tired, so they went back to their room after dinner.
Early the next morning, Comrade Wang came again in a pickup truck.
"Brother Yang, my father said he must accompany you well. For this reason, my father gave me two days off..."
Looking at Comrade Wang's cheerful expression, Yang Jing could only accept the kindness with a smile.
"Brother Yang, sister-in-law, I'll take you to Argentina today. If you want to enjoy Iguazu waterfall, it's best in Argentina. Moreover, when you go to Argentina, you can also see the scenery of 'seeing the Three Kingdoms at a glance'. Of course, you can see it in Brazil, but it's not as good as Argentina."
"Hehe, brother, we all listen to you on how to arrange today's itinerary. You look OK."
With Yang Jing's words, Comrade Wang immediately turned into a tour guide. However, there is no need to drive his broken pickup truck. Yang Jing and they have four cars, and Comrade Xiao Wang can do it.
So Xiao Wang's rule pushed Bruno into another car, and he sat in the co pilot position of Yang Jing's car. Of course, this car also became the head of the team.
Less than a kilometer north from the casino hotel, you will return to the Qiaotou market, and then cross the border inspection station and enter Brazil again from the friendship bridge.
Although Paraguay also borders Argentina, there is no bridge between Paraguay and Argentina near Dongfang City. Therefore, if you want to enter Argentina from Dongfang City, you must pass through FOSS duiguazu city in Brazil, and then through the tank redo Nevis bridge on the Iguazu River between FOSS duiguazu city and Iguazu port in Argentina.
After crossing the friendship bridge, drive eastward along highway 277 for about three kilometers, then directly enter Parana avenue to the south, then walk four kilometers to the south, then turn into Great Falls Avenue, finally turn into Nanfang market Avenue, and then cross the border inspection station on that Avenue.
Mercosur Avenue is a fully closed road connecting Brazil and Argentina through the tankredo Nevis bridge on the Iguazu River. The frontier inspection stations at both ends of the highway are the entrance and exit of the closed highway.
After passing the border inspection station on the Argentine side, the team began to wander around the urban area under the command of Comrade Wang, because the border inspection station is in the eastern suburb of Iguazu port, and the famous viewing platform of "seeing the Three Kingdoms at a glance" is in the northwest corner of the city. They need to cross the whole Iguazu port.
However, the city appearance of Iguazu port is obviously much better than that of FOSS duiguazu in Brazil in the north and Oriental City in Paraguay in the West. The city is not so noisy, but more quiet.
Even if you can see groups of tourists from time to time, the city feels more leisurely.
After more than ten minutes, the team came to Iguazu Avenue on the South Bank of Iguazu River. This avenue is the famous sightseeing avenue of Iguazu port. The east of the avenue is the wharf of Iguazu port, and the west is the sightseeing square of "seeing the Three Kingdoms at a glance".
On both sides of the whole Iguazu Avenue, there are many color paintings painted on the cement wall, including famous portraits of Argentine people, as well as some local legends and stories.
On the side of the Avenue near the viewing square, Yang Jing and they found an interesting sculpture. The sculpture is a white marble humanoid sculpture pushing a yellow cart with a blue blanket on it. Behind the sculpture, there is a cement wall, which is clearly a route in Argentina with red lines.
The sculpture aroused the curiosity of Yang Jing and Ge Ge. They stopped the car and got off to watch the sculpture.
Seeing that Yang Jing and his wife were very interested in the sculpture, Comrade Wang began to introduce the sculpture.
"Brother Yang and sister-in-law, this sculpture is the famous' Basque cart 'sculpture and the route of larreni ugat walking with a cart."
"Basque wheelbarrow? Hiking? What does that mean?" Ge Ge asked puzzled.
Xiao Wang said, "sister-in-law, although the location of this sculpture is not very impressive, the owner of this sculpture is very famous in Argentina and even the whole of South America."
After a pause, Xiao Wang continued to explain: "The owner of this sculpture is Guillermo Isidoro larreni Ugarte. He was a Basque born in Pamplona, Spain, on November 27, 1885. In 1900, at the age of 15, he went to Buenos Aires, first as a sailor, and then to live in Patagonia, Argentina. In 1935, he made a bet with his friends, which changed his life, It also made him a strange and legendary figure in Argentina. His bet was about walking on a hand-propelled unicycle. On March 25, 1935, he filled a hand-propelled unicycle with 130 kilograms of travel supplies, mainly including folding beds, mattresses and bedspreads, as well as kitchen appliances, heaters and other tools used in travel, and began to push on the unicycle On his first hiking trip, he set out near the small town of Luis Piedra Buena in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, and arrived in the capital Buenos Aires 14 months later. After arriving in Buenos Aires, his reputation was greatly improved, thus improving the reputation of Argentine Basque and Navara immigrants. "
"Larreni Ugarte made four hiking trips in his life. The second time was from Colonel Pringles in Buenos Aires to La Paz, Bolivia, from 1936 to 1938. The third time was from Vera Maria in Cordoba to Santiago, the capital of Chile, in 1943. The last hiking trip was from Buenos Aires The trip to Iguazu National Park ended in 1949. Iguazu port is the last residence of larreni ugat. He died in Iguazu port on June 9, 1964. "
Hearing Xiao Wang's explanation, Yang Jing and Ge Ge couldn't help looking at each other and found the kind of admiration in each other's eyes.
The owner of this seemingly insignificant sculpture should have such a feat. This Ugarte is definitely a hero!
