Looks great!
There are towers to view the dam, lake, river at the same time on the both sides, west and east.
When I visited, east side tower and the surrounding area was closed for maintenance.
Then, the view from the west side tower was awesome.
Look at that.
On the westside of the tower, a monument for the memory of people who lost their life during the construction.
On the east side, there is a statue and plates to honour the engineers.
