DuJiangYan | Sichuan Province | Chengdu | China - The Land of Abundance {4K Quality}
Hello Friends,
This is my first trip in Chengudu, place called DuJiangYan (The ancient city). Hope you like the video and thank you for watching.
Located in the west of Chengdu City and is 48 km from the city center, Dujiangyan City is the county-level city of Chengdu City. The city is known by most people for its Dujiangyan Irrigation System, which is called the Origin of the Land of Abundance. The two thousand years old irrigation system is reputed as the forerunner of the world conservancy culture, and it’s the oldest and the only no control irrigation system in the world which is still in use. Besides this World Heritage Site, Dujiangyan is also the home to giant panda. Dujiangyan Giant Panda Base is the only place allowing Panda Volunteer Program in China. Mount Qingcheng is also located in Dujiangyan, which is a tranquil Taoist mountain. Dujiangyan is also a famous summer resort in Chengdu, for the weather here is very cool even in the hot summer.
Dujiangyan City has two World Heritage Sites, one is Dujiangyan Irrigation System, which has a history over two thousand years; another one is Mount Qingcheng, which is a famous Taoism mountain in China. Tourists can make a close contact with the cute giant panda in Dujiangyan Panda Base, where tourists can participate the Panda Volunteer Program to take care of the giant panda for one day. The best time to visit Dujiangyan is summer, for during this time, the temperature here is lower than Chengdu City, and the average temperature of the hottest month is 24.4℃, thus it’s a great place to escape summer heat. Dujiangyan is a beautiful city with good air quality. There are many attractions in Dujiangyan. The most famous one is the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, and the city is named after this project. Besides that, Mount Qingcheng is also a great place to relax. If you are interested in giant panda, the Dujiangyan Panda Base is your best choice.
Weather & When to go:
Dujiangyan City is located in a subtropical humid monsoon climate zone in Sichuan Basin, and the weather here is not two cold or too hot, it’s a great place to live. In the coldest month, the average temperature is 4.6℃, while in the hottest month, the average temperature is 24.4℃. Annual average rainfall is 1243.8 millimeters.
The best visiting time is from April to October. Dujiangyan is a famous summer resort and summer is the best time to visit. Even in the hottest time, Dujiangyan and Mount Qingcheng still retain a rather cool weather, and in most time, the weather is around 22℃. Besides, in summer, tourists can experience Hongkou drifting, beer festival in summer night.
Getting to Dujiangyan:
Dujiangyan has no airport, and the closet airport is Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, which is about 70km to Dujiangyan City. At present, there is direct bus line from the airport to Dujiangyan Bus Station and it will drive about 1.5 hours. From Chengdu, travelers can take bullet bus in Chengdu North Railway Station to Dujiangyan, and this will only spend 30minutes to 50 minuts to get there. If you can’t catch the bullet train, then you can take bus at Chengdu Chadianzi Bus Station to Dujiangyan Bus Station, and it will drive about one hour.
Getting Around:
Dujiangyan City is small and the public bus can take you to all of the attractions of Dujiangyan conveniently. Another way is taking taxi, which is more convenient and the price for the taxi is cheap than Chengdu. In most cases, transfer from one attraction to another will cost under ¥12.

Dujiangyan Irrigation System, built over 2,000 years ago, but still in use
The Dujiangyan Irrigation System is an ancient water management infrastructure located in Sichuan, China. Built over 2,000 years ago, it is still in use today and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The system was designed to prevent flooding and to irrigate the Chengdu Plain, which is one of the most fertile regions in China. The main feature of the system is the Dujiangyan Dam, which diverts water from the Minjiang River into an elaborate network of canals, tunnels, and channels. The system has been so effective that it has allowed the Chengdu Plain to support a population of over 50 million people.

都江堰，位于中国四川省成都市都江堰市城西，坐落在成都平原西部的岷江上，是由渠首枢纽（鱼嘴、飞沙堰、宝瓶口）、灌区各级引水渠道，各类工程建筑物和大中小型水库和塘堰等所构成的一个庞大的工程系统。
秦昭王后期（约公元前276年至251年），蜀郡守李冰总结了前人治水的经验，组织岷江两岸人民，修建都江堰。唐代，修建了飞沙堰。
都江堰是当今世界年代久远、唯一留存、以无坝引水为特征的宏大水利工程。它充分利用当地西北高、东南低的地理条件，根据江河出山口处特殊的地形、水脉、水势，乘势利导，无坝引水，自流灌溉，使堤防、分水、泄洪、排沙、控流相互依存，共为体系，保证了防洪、灌溉、水运和社会用水综合效益的充分发挥。它最伟大之处是建堰2250多年来经久不衰，而且发挥着愈来愈大的效益。
Dujiangyan, located in the west of Dujiangyan City, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China, is located on the Minjiang River in the west of the Chengdu Plain. A huge engineering system composed of large, medium and small reservoirs and ponds, etc.,
In the later period of King Qin Zhao (approximately 276-251 BC), Li Bing, governor of Shu County, summed up the experience of previous generations in water control, organized people on both sides of the Minjiang River, and built Dujiangyan. In the Tang Dynasty, Feishayan was built.
