Dujiangyan Irrigation System Tours and Tickets

We did the Pandas and then the Irrigation system - a really good combination. The Dujiangyan panda base is quieter than the Breeding centre in Chengdu. Really easy to see the Giant and Red Pandas. The Irrigation system was interesting, lovely views, lots of walking and the Taoist temple was beautiful. Our guide Cora was lovely and driver excellent.

Great trip. Guide spoke excellent English and could understand our questions and answer them with context. He was considerate in his pacing and concerned for our safety. There are many many steps and the trip description should advise travelers that this is a strenuous activity. The irrigation site was beautiful with outstanding landscaping. The history and significance of the site was amazing. Our guide was very helpful in our understanding of the story.

We chose this tour together with one visiting the Panda Reserve and the Sanxingdui Museum. Originally, this tour was planned for our second day, but because of an event happening near the museum, the agency suggested swapping the two days. The change worked very smoothly and everything stayed well organised. This tour took us to Mt Qingcheng, an important spiritual center for Taoism, and to the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project. Mt Qingcheng was quite busy, but because of the mist the mountain had a slightly mysterious and atmospheric feeling, which made the visit quite special. The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project was also fascinating, especially when understanding how advanced the engineering was so many centuries ago. Our guide and driver Victor was very informative, spoke excellent English, and everything was punctual and arranged in a very efficient way. We also enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant, where we tried dishes typical of the area, which were all delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Taoism and the impressive history and engineering of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project.
