Great place to visit. Amazing views and woodland walks

Dujiangyan is an incredible testament to ancient engineering—built over 2,000 years ago, its irrigation system and suspension bridges remain flawless even by modern standards. It’s mind-boggling to think how such precise and enduring structures were created without today’s machinery. That said, while the historical significance is impressive, the visit itself was quite taxing. We took a taxi to Station 6 at the top and walked downhill, passing shrines, the Erwang Temple (dedicated to the Qin Dynasty officials who designed the system), and the Fuqi Suspension Bridge. The temple also features a Taoist Guanyin statue, which was interesting to learn about. However, after days of walking on my trip, my legs were exhausted, and the sheer size of the area meant even more walking—even with the shuttle vehicles. I’d recommend starting from Station 6 and descending, as those going uphill looked utterly drained. The ticket price felt steep, and unless you have a deep interest in ancient waterworks, the experience may not justify the cost. Personally, I feel it still worth a visit to understand and witness this amazing waterworks. #sichuanattractions
