Mount Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Irrigation Project Tour

Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Irrigation Project

One-day tour

Although not as well-known as some other sites in Sichuan, the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, a world heritage site, is a worthwhile trip for anyone interested in the history of the province.

Built around 250 BC, the irrigation project allowed the Sichuan basin to support a population of millions, and is still in use today, over 2000 years after it was built.

Mount Qingcheng, conveniently located about an hour from Chengdu, is another world heritage site, and one of the five Daoist holy mountains.
