Travel from the provincial capital of Chengdu on a day trip to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a marvel of ancient engineering built over 2,200 years ago. Book a tour to visit with a guide, who’ll explain how this UNESCO–listed facility prevents flooding across the Sichuan Basin, as you marvel at the Fish Mouth Levee and the Baopingkou Diversion—both of which still control the Min River’s flow today. Be aware that the site is vast: Joining an excursion not only provides technical and historical context, but helps structure your trip, so you’ll see all the key sections, including the Anlan Suspension Bridge.
