Highlights

Explore the Dujiangyan Irrigation System on a private day trip from Chengdu with a dedicated guide and private vehicle. This UNESCO-listed water-control project has helped shape Sichuan for more than 2,000 years, and your guide will explain the ancient engineering behind Yuzui, Feishayan, Baopingkou, Anlan Bridge, and the temples and waterways around the scenic area. This tour keeps the day focused on Dujiangyan rather than rushing multiple stops. Enjoy hotel pickup and drop-off, pre-arranged admission, and a flexible pace for photos, short walks, and questions. Choose an English-speaking or Spanish-speaking guide option; meals, gratuities, personal expenses, and optional paid rides inside the scenic area are not included.
