The Dujiangyan is a brilliant achievement of ancient Chinese laborers and a miracle in the history of water conservancy worldwide. It has a history of over two thousand years. This dam-free irrigation project not only solved the flooding and irrigation issues in the Chengdu Plain but also became a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Morning: Tour of the core attractions of the water conservancy project

Yuzui Diversion Dam: As a landmark of Dujiangyan, Yuzui cleverly divides the Min River into the inner and outer rivers, with the inner river for irrigation and the outer river for flood discharge. Standing on Yuzui, you can overlook the entire water conservancy project and feel the wisdom of the ancients.

Feisha Yan: Located downstream from Yuzui, its main function is to discharge sand. During the flood season, it uses the water flow to wash away mud and sand, ensuring the inner river remains unobstructed.

Baoping Kou: The outlet of Dujiangyan, shaped like a treasure bottle, precisely controls the water flow of the inner river. Standing next to it, you can deeply feel the surging impact and tremendous power of the water flow.

Noon: Taste local delicacies

Dujiangyan has a rich variety of food, and visitors can try Sichuan specialties like spicy skewers, Dandan noodles, and hotpot.

Afternoon: Deep dive into the History and Culture of Dujiangyan

Fulong Temple: Located in Lidui Park, it is an ancient Taoist temple. The temple houses statues of Li Bing and his son, making it an important place to understand the history and culture of Dujiangyan.

Anlan Bridge: Spanning the Min River, it is one of the five famous ancient bridges in China. Walking on the bridge, you can feel a slight sway and the power of the water flow while enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Min River.
