🏮 The wonders of Chengdu's ancient dam, "Dujiangyan"

📍Dujiangyan Irrigation System (都江堰水利工程) is an ancient irrigation system built over 2,200 years ago and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 200. 🌄 Must-see Highlights • Fish Mouth Levee (鱼嘴) – The dividing point of the river flow into two channels: one for irrigation and another for flood prevention. • Flying Sand Weir (飞沙堰) – A channel for draining sediment and excess water from the river. • Bottle-Neck Channel (宝瓶口) – A cleverly designed water channel into the city, narrow like the mouth of a bottle, allowing for just the right amount of water flow. • Anlan Bridge (安澜索桥) – An ancient suspension bridge once made of wood and rattan. It's now rebuilt but retains its original charm. • Erwang Temple (二王庙) – An ancient temple built in memory of Li Bing and his son. 🚗 Getting there from Chengdu • High-speed rail from Chengdu to Dujiangyan takes only 30–40 minutes. • Tourist bus from Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Station takes approximately 1.5 hours. • If staying in Dujiangyan District, you can easily take a local bus or taxi to the ancient dam. #tripbestfreeaccommodation #travelchengdu #dujiangyan
