1-Day Mount Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Irrigation System Tour｜China

At 9:00 AM, your driver and guide will meet you at your Chengdu hotel, then drive you 65 km to Mount Qingcheng in about 80 minutes.

First, we will visit Mt. Qingcheng, which is divided into two parts: Front Mountain and Back Mountain. The front mountain is the main part of Mount Qingcheng Scenic Area and covers about 15 square kilometers. The back mountain covers about 100 square kilometers. The clear streams, verdant woods and magnificent peaks make the back mountain very attractive. In winter, it is very cold in Mount Qingcheng; but in summer, it is so cool that Mount Qingcheng is regarded as a great summer resort by many people.

At this mountain we can see many cultural relics and historic sites in the front mountain and the scenery here is also very beautiful. The main attractions in the front mountain are Natural Drawing, Jianfu Palace, Tianshi Cave, Chaoyang Cave and Shangqing Palace, etc. The main attractions in the back mountain are Golden Cliff and Sky Storehouse, Goddess Cave, Clouds Caves, View of Platform Bridge, etc.
Next, drive for 30 minutes to the Dujiangyan Ancient Irrigation System. About 2,200 years ago, Chengdu was threatened by the frequent floods caused by the flooding of the Minjiang River. So the local official of the Shu state, Li Bing, together with his son, decided to construct an irrigation system on the River to prevent flooding. After a lengthy study and years’ hard work by the local people, the great Dujiangyan Irrigation Project was completed. Nowadays, the project still plays a crucial role in draining off floodwater, irrigating farms and providing water resources for more than 50 cities in Sichuan province.

When we finish the Dujiangyan tour, our guide will escort you to your hotel.
