Dujiangyan: A Genius Invention Over Two Millennia Old

Dujiangyan is located on the Minjiang River in the western part of the Chengdu Plain. It is some distance from Chengdu city, and I went there with a tour group, which made the transportation very convenient. After touring around (Fish Mouth, Feisha Weir, Baopingkou), I found the walking distance quite acceptable. Dujiangyan is very beautiful🎋 and listening to the guide's introduction was truly astonishing. I came to realize that it is indeed a genius invention. Without Dujiangyan's flood diversion, water redirection, and irrigation, the Chengdu Plain might not have become the Land of Abundance🍚. Those interested could find a guide to give a deeper explanation or look it up on Baidu. I really admire the wisdom of Li Bing and his son
