The dams are called Ludila and Longkaikou projects, which are a part of eight dams planned on upper Yangtze (Drichu in Tibetan and Jinsha in Chinese). The eight dams are shown with blue pointers here . Ludila and Longkaikou are the two southernmost dams among the eight. These two dams are about 50 km south of Lijiang (Sartham) as shown in the Google Earth image below.

I just came across the following link wherein eight dams on Yangtze (Jinsha) was mentioned. It seems one of the cancelled dams is Ahai dam near Baoshan which according the article was illegally being built.

Hello, thanks for your comment. My sources tell me that Ahai dam is currently pending for the EIA approval, so it hasn't been cancelled (yet).
