Dujiangyan Irrigation System Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Dujiangyan Irrigation System is located along the main branch of the Lancang River, west of Dujiangyan City. It was constructed in the Qin dynasty around 256 BC by Li Bing, Prefecture Chief of Shu County, and his son. It is one of the few ancient Chinese water conservancy projects that has remained preserved and intact. The project consists of three primary works—Yuzui Diverting Embankment, the Feishayan Spillway, and the Baopingkou Water Inlet, and two secondary works which include the Baizhangdi (the thousand-feet dam) and Renzidi (the y-shaped dam). They divide the Yongjiang River into an outer and an inner branch, the former of which is used to divert floods and the latter for irrigation. This has allowed the Western Sichuan plateau to become "the land of abundance" as we now know it.

It’s worth going every May. I go to Dujiangyan to play. This time is no exception. Whether it’s eating, playing or living, it gives people a feeling of being at home, so bring your favorite people to travel.
Dujiangyan is the world's oldest, only retained, with no dam diversion of water as the characteristics of the grand water conservancy project. From the main entrance, go straight to Fulong view, stand by the railing, enjoy the three rivers confluence, overlook the three main projects of Dujiangyan: fish mouth (throttling), flying sand (draining water), Baopingkou (flooding and sand discharge). Go downstairs to Anlan Bridge, go to Erwang Temple, go through Yuleiguan, visit the old street, and finally reach the South Bridge. Another sprinkling of net punch card, no omission, took three hours.
The mountains and clear waters are lush and lush, and the artificial blue tears have a special flavor. From ancient times to the present, the water-control people have also been fully introduced. Spring has arrived at the fragrance of birds and flowers, and tourists are like weaving. It is really a resort.
Very shocking, the wisdom of the ancients is unimaginable, the group is a group, the huge project, it is worth our students to study, the performance is not bad, but the performance must go early to choose a good location, the location is not so good when it is late,
The second time I came, the last train, this time I took a taxi. Chengdu took a taxi to Dujiangyan for about an hour and more than ten minutes, more than 100 yuan. Shanghai ID card only costs 15 yuan to buy tickets. It is said that many people in Shanghai used to help build after the earthquake, so there has been such a discount since then. The water volume of Dujiangyan in winter is a little smaller, but the water is very green and beautiful. Up high and overlooking, the momentum is magnificent, and the scenery is good. Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain are very close. We plan to run all day, so we set off early from Chengdu, entered the Dujiangyan Scenic Area at 9 o'clock, and came out at about 11 o'clock. Go quickly and visit Dujiangyan for 2 hours. Go out of the scenic spot on the left hand side of the South Bridge, is a small ancient town, eat lunch inside, and then go to Qingcheng Mountain.
Chengdu "Dujiangyan", the ancient water conservancy project that shocked the world, built by Li Bing father and son more than 2,000 years ago, is the world's oldest, only retained, with no dam to attract water as the characteristics of the grand water conservancy project, highlighting the wisdom of our ancients!
Dujiangyan is a county seat in Chengdu. There are major water conservancy projects of world heritage in Dujiangyan Scenic Area. The scenic area is very large and the scenery is very spectacular. It is worth coming to see. While watching and learning, Yujun County Shou Li Bing, in the sight of Yulei Mountain to block the water upstream, Yulei Mountain on both sides of the water often flooded and the downstream drought, so he thought of the way of "fire watering", it took eight years to chiseled Yulei Mountain into the current "bottle mouth"; At the same time, the "fish mouth" position in the upper reaches of the four or six shunts, and the two-eighth sand, divided the Lijiang River into two sides of the outer river, the inner river, the outer river flood, the inner river irrigation; In the "flying sand" position, that is, a short dam is built on the periphery of the inner river, further dumps the mud and sand in the inner river, and regularly cleans up to avoid sediment silt. When the water volume of the inner river is too large, the excess water can be discharged into the outer river to avoid floods through the overflow channel of the flying sand. Such water conservancy projects without dam drainage, withstand the test of time to benefit the people, come here to feel the wisdom of the ancients and the greatness of the project. I watched the performance of Dujiangyan on the Fish Mouth near the "Fish Mouth". There was also a small episode. There was a fan dance. A little brother threw the fan out. Oh, I was so panicked. Then he and the same stage were trying to laugh and continue to do the action. I was also laughing hahaha. It's almost over that a little sister's fan is broken, so helpless, but still insist on throwing hahaha. The whole performance experience is very good. I want to give a thumbs up to the little brothers and sisters of each performance. It is a wonderful performance. You are awesome!
The water conservancy project 2279 years ago is still benefiting the generations of children and grandchildren. How can it not be touched! The entire scenic spot includes Qin Yulou, Erwang Temple, Yuzui, Baopingkou, Blue Eyes and other modules. Each has a culture, history, and a point of view. If you want to watch it slowly, a day is not enough.
