What to expect

The Dujiangyan Scenic Area is located on Gongyuan Road, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, approximately 50 kilometers from the city center and over 60 kilometers from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. It is a World Cultural Heritage site, a miracle of ancient water conservancy engineering, and a model of living cultural heritage, covering an area of approximately 1200 mu. As the "pinnacle of ancient Chinese dam-free water diversion projects," it is world-renowned for its three main constructions: the Yuzui Water-Dividing Weir, the Feishayan Flood Diversion Weir, and the Baopingkou Water Inlet, embodying the water management wisdom of Li Bing and his son: "Dig deep at the riverbed, build the weir low." Here, verdant mountains surround the area, and the river rushes onward. The ancient weir and Mount Min are harmoniously set against each other. The shadows of pines and bamboos conceal a thousand years of historical context. It is hailed as an "eternal epic of the symbiosis between humanity and nature." A popular saying goes, "Worship the waters of Dujiangyan, inquire about Taoism on Mount Qingcheng," which fully demonstrates the global influence of its water conservancy miracle and humanistic heritage. The original features of the water conservancy system from the Warring States period are completely preserved here, allowing for an immersive exploration of the ancient technology of inner and outer river diversion, sediment discharge, and flood prevention.
