Dujiangyan Scenic Area is located in the west of Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and it's seriously cool! Built during the Warring States Period (around 256 BC), it was created by Li Bing and his son. Here's the kicker~ Dujiangyan isn't just ancient; it's still functioning today! It's the world's only dam-less water diversion project and an absolute world-class historical heritage site! šŸ—ŗ Address: West of Dujiangyan City, Chengdu šŸŽ« Ticket Price: 80 RMB šŸ•— Opening Hours: Daily 08:00 – 18:00 There are three must-visit core water projects on site: 🌊 Yuzui (Fish Mouth) Water-Dividing Dike It's like water-splitting magic! It directly divides the Minjiang River into the Inner and Outer rivers, automatically regulating the water volume. It's seriously smart! šŸŒ€ Feishayan (Flying Sand) Weir Exclusively responsible for flood relief and sand discharge. It prevents both flooding and waterway siltation—10 out of 10 for protection~ 🚪 Baopingkou (Bottle-Neck) Channel The absolute core of the entire system! This artificially excavated water inlet strictly controls the amount of water flowing into the Chengdu Plain with incredible precision. Walking through the scenic area, you can truly feel the sheer genius of ancient Chinese people! If you love history mixed with natural beauty, this is a must-visit! Make sure your camera is fully charged—the photo ops are top-tier and the historical vibes are unmatched~ ā›°ļøšŸ”®
