From here, it's about 90 minutes drive to the UNESCO-listed Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a wonder in the history of Chinese science that dates back to the third century BC. Engineered to exploit natural features to control the Minjiang River, and the flow of water from the mountains to the plains throughout the year, it consists of three main sections: Yuzui, Feishayan, and Baopingkou. Even today it plays a crucial role in draining floodwater, irrigating farms, and providing water to more than 50 cities in Sichuan. 240 minutes

This was a nice tour - the Dujiangyan Irrigation System was a nice place to explore. Mount Qingcheng could totally be skipped. Our tour guide Bella was really nice and was great! She provided helpful explanations, took pictures for our group and also arranged a wonderful tasty lunch!. We definitely would do Dujiangyan Irrigation System again as the irrigation system was cool, the park was nice and it all was connected to an ancient city - which had lots of good food.
