Midnight River Glow✨

Experience the Magic of Dujiangyan’s Blue River Nights 🌃💧
The legendary Dujiangyan Scenic Area blends ancient Chinese innovation with fresh riverside allure, and by nightfall, the city’s dazzling blue-lit river truly steals the show. Expect a mesmerizing outdoor cultural landscape where history and nature dance together under modern lights!

Start your evening stroll by entering the Dujiangyan Scenic Area (Park Road, open till 18:00 most of the year). As the sun sets, the riverside transforms—the water glows electric blue, reflecting city buildings, classic rooftops, and tree silhouettes. For the best "insta-worthy" photos, pause on the river bridges for panoramic shots, or capture close-ups of illuminated Chinese architecture mirrored on the water’s surface.

Must-do experiences: Get up close to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System (open daily 08:30–17:00 at 宝瓶巷). It’s a UNESCO marvel surrounded by lush trees and ancient pavilions; perfect for a calm walk and late-afternoon snaps of the intricate engineering. If you can, time your arrival so you see the river’s blue hue deepen at dusk.

Insider tip: Head towards viewing platforms or quieter banks for photos—the brightest blues appear here after sunset and you’ll dodge the bigger crowds! Don’t forget a light jacket, as riverside temperatures can drop suddenly at night even in warmer seasons.

Precautions: Some paths can be slippery after rain, and opening hours vary (last entries around 17:30), so plan your route to maximize night views. Bring a portable charger for night photography!
