Dujiangyan Irrigation Project Photos
Built in 256 BC, the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project is the world's oldest and uniquely relies upon a levee rather than a dam to facilitate navigation. It was built across the Min River to solve the frequent flooding problems in the Chengdu Plain. The irrigation project is still in use today. It still plays an important role in preventing flood, irrigation and providing water sources for the local people in the province. Attraction Intro: Dujiangyan Irrigation Project

The dam of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project is breathtaking and awesome. The scenery at the Dam is also amazing, hence a hot tourist attraction.
