  • Description

    This etching also depicts the landscape near the site of the Longyang Gorge power station. The dam was designed as the westernmost of a succession planned for the length of the Yellow River in one of the grand engineering projects devised in the early decades of the People’s Republic of China. The etching process is the same as in Mountain Rhythm [LI2007.52].
