Dujiangyan Scenic Area

The Dujiangyan irrigation system spans over 5,300 square kilometers of land, featuring three main structures: the Fish Mouth Levee, Flying Sand Weir, and Bottle-Neck Channel.

Li Bing, governor of Shu State, initiated the construction of Dujiangyan in 256 BC to address flooding issues from the Min River through innovative water channeling methods.

The Erwang Temple near the irrigation system commemorates Li Bing's achievements and contains historical artifacts related to water management engineering throughout Chinese history.

Visitors can reach Dujiangyan by taking direct buses from Chengdu city center, with the journey lasting approximately one hour and departing every thirty minutes.

The irrigation system maintains its original design from 256 BC and continues to protect the region from floods while providing water to millions of residents.
