Chengdu - Du Jiang Yen

Dujiangyan is serving up some serious scenery goals 🔥—where legendary panda vibes collide with the surreal sparkle of Blue Eyes River! If you’re obsessed with Chengdu’s ancient stories and want those Insta-ready landscapes, Dujiangyan absolutely slaps and should be top of your bucket list.

Here’s how our adventure went in Dujiangyan:

First stop: Dujiangyan Scenic Area (地址: Park Road, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu). It’s where ancient Chinese architecture flexes alongside modern park energy—think pagodas, leafy paths, and river walks with crazy-good views. The Dujiangyan Irrigation System is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and those photo ops with the iconic panda sculpture at the entrance are just chef’s kiss (especially if you hit a moody cloudy sky for main character vibes). FYI, entrance is ¥80 and the opening hours are:
Jan 1 – Feb 28: 08:00-17:00 (tickets until 16:30)
Mar 1 – Dec 31: 08:00-18:00 (tickets until 17:30)

🌊 Blue Eyes River
Before you bounce, stroll over to Blue Eyes River. At night, this spot transforms into a wild scene—the turquoise waters look like something out of a fantasy movie, and EVERYONE is snapping pics for the gram. Get ready for some serious sparkle.

Quick Tips:
- Hit up Dujiangyan early for fewer people and dreamy sunrise glow over the rivers, trees, and those historic walkways (selfie game *level up*).
- Bridges, leafy hides, and chill snack stalls line the park—try some street eats and keep your energy up! Watch out for surprise showers; pack a poncho just in case.
- Once you arrive, walking is the MOVE. It’s super pedestrian-friendly so you’ll rack up your daily steps with ease.

Getting There: Roll over from central Chengdu via metro or local buses—fast, cheap, and no hassle. Taxis are an easy option if you’re feeling bougie or traveling in a crew.

Are you even in China if you don’t hit up Dujiangyan for panda content and glowy river shots? Add this destination to your trip.com planning ASAP and let the adventure vibes flow! #chengduviews #dujiangyanmagic #blueeyesriver #chinatravel #tripdotcom
