Dujiangyan Dujiangyan Irrigation System
This is one of the greatest marvels in the history of human engineering—a project built over 2,000 years ago that still irrigates 10 million mu of fertile farmland today. When you witness the Min River being precisely diverted with your own eyes, you’ll be filled with awe at the wisdom of ancient Chinese people.
