▲ The Dujiangyan Scenic Area is one of the world's oldest surviving and still-functioning water diversion projects without a dam. Here, you can stand on the Fish Mouth Levee to experience the ancient wisdom of "60% water diversion and 80% sediment discharge," witnessing the ingenious division of the Min River's flow. Stroll through the ancient streets of Guanxian Town, admire the traditional architecture along the cobblestone paths, and savor local delicacies like the fragrant Dujiangyan fermented glutinous rice. Climb up Fulong Temple for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Min River winding like a ribbon through emerald-green mountains. Meanwhile, Panda Valley serves as the Dujiangyan base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Step inside this lush sanctuary with shaded trees and murmuring streams, where you can observe adorable pandas munching bamboo, playing, and energetically climbing trees up close.
