Dujiangyan: The "Water Pipe" Built by Li Bing and His Son, Still Functioning After 2000 Years with Full Marks for After-Sales Service!

Who says Chengdu's surroundings are only about hotpot and pandas? Dujiangyan, this ancient city with millennia of history, is the hidden gem! Water conservancy project + Taoist culture + Sichuan cuisine—this cultural deep-dive tour is a sure win✨ 🏯 Top 5 Must-Visit Attractions: 1️⃣ Dujiangyan Scenic Area (Ticket: ¥80) Stand on the Fish Mouth Levee and watch the rushing river—the engineering wisdom of Li Bing and his son from the Qin Dynasty is truly remarkable! Arrive before 8 AM to avoid tour groups and catch the misty, ethereal morning scene~ 2️⃣ Qingcheng Front Mountain (Ticket: ¥80) "Qingcheng's serenity is unmatched under heaven"—the Taoist temples here are bustling with worshippers! Wear anti-slip shoes for the hike, and don’t miss the reflection of Laojun Pavilion in Yuecheng Lake halfway up—a photographer’s dream spot📸 3️⃣ Guanxian Ancient Town (Free) A charming cluster of Ming and Qing architecture! Try the freshly made brown sugar pancakes on Wenmiao Street—¥5 each, sweet but not cloying, way more authentic than Kuanzhai Alley! 4️⃣ Panda Park (Ticket: ¥58) Tired of crowds at Chengdu’s Panda Base? Here, you can get up close to see pandas bathing and eating! Baby pandas climbing trees will melt your heart🐼 (Best time: 2–4 PM when they’re most active). 5️⃣ Nanqiao Bridge Night View (Free) After 8 PM, the lights turn on, and the Min River glows emerald green! The grandma selling spicy skewers on the bridge is a legend—her mouth-numbing, savory flavors are addictive🌶️ 💡 Pro Tips: 🔸 Taxis between attractions cost under ¥25; stay near Guanxian Ancient Town for convenience. 🔸 Qingcheng Mountain has a Front Mountain (Taoist temples) and Back Mountain (hiking)—don’t mix them up! 🔸 Skip the ¥30 electronic guide at Dujiangyan and eavesdrop on tour guides instead. 🔸 Pack a raincoat during monsoon season—mountain rain comes without warning. 🍜 Foodie Heaven: ▪️ Zhao Mainoodles (Yangliuhe Street): Must-try open-mouth dumplings + sweetwater noodles. ▪️ Lao Hao Luo Ji Snacks (Tianyi Street): Silky tofu pudding even smoother than Chengdu’s. ▪️ Zhong Duck (Jianshe Road): Smoked duck legs with plum sauce—divine! ▪️ Taiping Zhang Laozao (Old Street): Hand-pounded glutinous rice cakes with soybean flour—unbeatable! 🚌 Getting There: Take Chengdu Metro Line 2 to Xipu Station → Transfer to the intercity train (30 mins, ¥10) straight to Dujiangyan Station. Way better than getting stuck on the ring road!
