#chinatravel

🌊 China’s 2,300-Year-Old Hydraulic Miracle
This UNESCO World Heritage Site (256 BC) is:
- The world’s oldest functioning irrigation system (still watering 5,300km² today)
- A masterpiece of Taoist engineering– works with nature, not against it
- The reason Chengdu became "Land of Abundance"

🚄 Smart Visit
- From Chengdu: 30min high-speed train (¥10, ends at scenic area gate)
- Best Season: May-Jun (water flow most dramatic)
