Dujiangyan in Summer | A Journey to the City of Brocade

Dujiangyan, located in the suburbs of Chengdu, Sichuan, is hailed as 'the progenitor of world irrigation culture' and a model of ancient water conservancy projects. This reputation stems from its unique dam-free water diversion feature and its long history. Dujiangyan is the oldest and only remaining grand water conservancy project in the world today. This ancient irrigation system's primary function is to divert water for irrigating the Chengdu Plain, providing a stable water source for agricultural production, and mitigating the threat of floods. Its greatest achievement is that it has been enduring for more than 2250 years and is playing an increasingly significant role. It not only played an important role in ancient times, making the Chengdu Plain the 'Land of Abundance,' but it still irrigates over 10 million mu of fertile land today, and its tremendous role is irreplaceable. Therefore, Dujiangyan is not only a milestone in Chinese culture but also a great wonder of the world. Dujiangyan is both an engineering marvel and a tourist attraction, drawing numerous visitors to appreciate its magnificent landscapes and historical relics. *Scenic Area Tour Guide: Enter the park through Qinyan Tower → Best photo spot on Qinyan Tower / Take pictures → Cross Anlan Bridge → Fish Mouth → Take a sightseeing car (10 yuan / one-way ticket) → Lidui / Feisha Weir / Baopingkou → Exit the park through the south gate → Check in at the popular South Bridge on the left (cross the bridge to Guanxian Ancient City).
