Anlan Bridge Located within the Dujiangyan area, Anlan Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Min River. It serves as a key spot for experiencing and appreciating the Dujiangyan irrigation system. This long and flexible wooden plank bridge is structurally secured with steel cables, making it sturdy. However, walking on it gives a slight sensation of swaying, creating the feeling of walking above the river. On both sides of the bridge, visitors can see the core structures of Dujiangyan, including the Fish Mouth, Feishayan Weir, and Baopingkou Drainage Outlet. These features offer a direct understanding of the scale and precision of this ancient water management system, designed thousands of years ago. When the bridge is crowded with tourists, the swaying becomes more pronounced, adding to the unique experience of the site. This bridge alone provides a short yet memorable opportunity to immerse oneself in the history, nature, and engineering of Dujiangyan.

1. After arriving in Chengdu, it is recommended to stay in a hotel in the #Taikooli/ #Chunxilu area, which is the core area of ​​the city center. It is very convenient to eat, drink and have fun in this business district or go to the #Kuanzhaixiangzi #Jinli area; 2. It is recommended to go to #Jiuzhaigou from August to October, because March to April is the dry season. Take the high-speed rail from #Chengdu East Station to #Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Station (about 2 hours) and then take a bus to Jiuzhaigou #entrance (about 1.5 hours). Since the scenic area is closed at 2 pm, if you want to have a #special forces style tour and don’t want to stay in Jiuzhaigou for a night, you must take the earliest high-speed rail and make an advance reservation for the shuttle bus to arrive at Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area before 2 pm. There are 19 scenic spots in the scenic area, and it is definitely impossible to visit them all in one day. If you want to focus on the main attractions, choosing 8/9 can ensure that you can visit them all within 5/6 hours a day (excluding lunch time). If conditions permit, families of 1-3 people can hire a park guide. The full-day service is ¥500, including introductions and photos. The guides are all #Tibetan girls, very authentic. Tourists can leave the scenic area at 4 o'clock and catch the high-speed train at 7 o'clock or 8:30 o'clock to return to Chengdu or go to other places. 3. It is recommended to take the high-speed rail to #Emei Station and stay in a hotel near the Huanglong Visitor Center or a hotel on the mountain, so that you can go up the mountain to see the sea of ​​clouds and reach the #GoldenTop on the Clouds to worship the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva early the next morning. (If you have time before your trip to Mount Emei, you can add a half-day tour of #Leshan - cruise along the river to see the #BigBuddha and visit the #Suji Ancient Town.) Mount Emei is very large and over 3,000 meters above sea level, so keep warm. Basically, you need to buy tickets for the bus, ropeway and park entrance, and the total price for adults is ¥330 per person. Basically, one day is definitely not enough to visit all the scenic spots in Mount Emei. It is recommended to highlight the key points because the park closes at six o'clock. 4. The drive from Emei to #Dujiangyan is about 2.5 hours. If you arrive at night, you can go directly to #Nanqiao area. The night market is very busy and there are food, drinks and shopping. You can enter the Dujiangyan Scenic Area in the morning. Like other scenic spots, Dujiangyan has many historical and cultural buildings. It takes a whole day to see them all. If you have extra time, you can go to #PandaValley to see pandas.
