Stop At: Dujiangyan Irrigation System, On the Minjiang River at the west of Dujiangyan, Dujiangyan 611830 China
Pick up from your hotel in Chengdu and head to Duanjiangyan. Duanjiangyan is located about 60km west of Chengdu. Dujiangyan is an ancient irrigation project in China, built about 2000 years ago. Now it is still in use. It is located in the middle part of Minjiang River, the largest tributary of Yangtze River. The project effectively put the flooding waters under control.
Dujiangyan is the oldest and only surviving no-dam irrigation system in the world; and a wonder in the development of Chinese science. The project consists of three important parts, namely Yuzui, Feishayan and Baopingkou scientifically designed to automatically control the water flow of the rivers from the mountains to the plains throughout the year.
