This 2,300-year-old hydraulic masterpiece still controls floods and irrigates the fertile Chengdu Plain. Created during the Qin Dynasty, its key features include the Fish‑Mouth Levee and Bottle‑Neck Channel. The site invites exploration of temples, suspension bridges, and engineering marvels. A short hike or walk reveals sophisticated ancient design in harmony with nature. Combined with nearby Mount Qingcheng, it forms a day-trip blending innovation, culture, and landscape.
