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.Dujiangyan · 52.8km from Wenchuan

Those who enjoy hiking might want to give it a try. The difficulty level is medium to high. I personally didn't make it to the end; I gave up after only a third of the way. It was just too tiring for someone like me who doesn't exercise regularly.

It's a fun place with a maze of roads, and you have to climb ladders to get up and down the buildings. The old village is well-preserved, but the new village isn't as interesting. It's 100 kilometers from Dujiangyan, and there's a highway nearby.

Wenchuan, a national martyr, has picturesque scenery, but it is full of sadness and heavy. The reconstruction work has been done very well, and the locals live and work in peace and contentment, but the compatriots who died in the earthquake will never see it again. This is the only way to Shenshuping. You must take a look when you pass by, pay tribute and pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

The scenery of Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve is very beautiful, including Balang Mountain, Ganhaizi, and Panda Base. There are also some places that are very beautiful that cannot be named. It was spring when we went there, and it was also introduced by a friend. The friend specially recommended a homestay in Wolong for us to experience (Lixia Boutique Homestay Hotel). It was so pleasantly surprised after we went there. Then I stayed at his house for three nights, because I brought two children with me. It happened that his house had a large outdoor activity area, a large children's entertainment area, and a path built by their family. The location was right by the lake. The plank road walked along the lake and then went around the forest. It was really comfortable. I heard from the boss that his house was the most beautiful in autumn, because there were thousands of red leaves 🍁 that turned the whole garden red. I also saw some pictures he took. It was really suitable for a family to come out for a vacation. The only worry is that it may be a bit difficult to live in his house in the future, because the food and accommodation environment is too beautiful, and it will definitely become an Internet celebrity, and the price will not be cheap.

Hello everyone, today I recommend a truly worthwhile natural treasure: the Wolong Nature Reserve! It's not only the home of the giant panda, but also a shining example of ecological diversity. In Wolong, you can get up close and personal with the beloved giant pandas, our national treasures, while also appreciating the rich Tibetan and Qiang culture and the magnificent alpine valleys. The fresh air and captivating scenery make it an ideal place to relax and connect with nature. Spring and summer are especially recommended, as the sea of ​​flowers and lush greenery are a breathtaking sight. If you love nature and want to experience a pristine environment, Wolong is a must-see! It will not only allow you to experience the wonders of life but also deepen your understanding of conservation. A visit to Wolong is not only about beautiful scenery, but also about spiritual enlightenment!

Within the base, babbling brooks and birdsong fill the air. In the misty, primeval forest, one can occasionally spot wild animals such as golden monkeys and red pandas, presenting a vivid picture of biodiversity. Visitors can observe giant pandas up close along the wooden boardwalk and experience the harmonious coexistence of nature and life.

To be honest, Wenchuan is not so famous because of the earthquake. It is also because of the earthquake that some sites have been preserved for people to see. Longxi Qiang Valley is also very famous in Wenchuan and the scenery is beautiful.
