Experience Dujiangyan Like Never Before

Nestled in the Chengdu Plain, the Dujiangyan Irrigation System flows quietly. It is not just a water conservancy project, but a living history book, a magnificent scroll of mountains and rivers, waiting for people to unveil its mysteries and discover its unique charm. As the first rays of morning sunlight grace Dujiangyan, the Bottle-neck Channel shimmers, resembling scattered gold. Unlike the hustle and bustle of other popular attractions, Dujiangyan at this moment is like a wise man awakening from a deep sleep, serene and peaceful. Strolling along the riverbank, a gentle breeze carries the unique moist air of the Min River, whispering stories of over two thousand years of history. Without the crowds of tour groups, you can immerse yourself in tranquility, observing every stone polished by time and feeling the weight of history they carry. Venturing deeper into Dujiangyan, you'll discover its equally captivating local culture. The surrounding villages are home to generations of people who have guarded Dujiangyan, their lives resonating with the flow of the river. Stepping into a quaint farmhouse, the hospitable host will offer you a steaming cup of covered tea, sharing ancestral legends about Li Bing and his son's water management, their words filled with love and pride for this land. The folk culture here has been passed down for millennia. During traditional festivals, people celebrate the grand Water Releasing Festival, a lively event with authentic folk performances that transport you back to ancient times. As night falls, Dujiangyan takes on a different, dazzling appearance. Illuminated by lights, the South Bridge resembles a brilliant rainbow spanning the river, its colorful lights reflecting in the water, creating a dreamlike scene. At this time, Dujiangyan is no longer a solemn historical site but a place brimming with life. The aroma of street food stalls fills the air, tempting you with local delicacies like Long Chao Shou, Zhong Shui Jiao, and Bing Fen. Sitting by the river, savoring the food, admiring the night view, and experiencing the perfect blend of modern and ancient, you'll discover the unique romance of Dujiangyan. Dujiangyan showcases the harmonious coexistence of history and nature, culture and life in its own unique way. Only by truly immersing yourself in it and experiencing it with your heart can you appreciate this extraordinary beauty and create unforgettable travel memories.
