Dujiangyan Irrigation System

Introduction

Dujiangyan Irrigation System was built over 2,000 years ago and is still important to Sichuan today. Prior to its construction around 256BC, the Chengdu plain was prone to flooding in the winter and drought in the summer.

Li Bing, the leader of the Shu Kingdom (220-263AD) devised a system of weirs and channels which still water and protect over 6,500 sq km of the plains to this day.

The project consists of three parts, the Fishmouth Weir, Flying Sands Dam and Precious Bottleneck channel.
