introduction-----Dujiangyan


Dujiangyan is the oldest and only surviving no-dam irrigation system in the world; and a wonder in the development of Chinese science. The project consists of three important parts, namely Yuzui, Feishayan and Baopingkou scientifically designed to automatically control the water flow of the rivers from the mountains to the plains throughout the year.

I went there in this April. Besides its amazing irrigation function for thousands of years, it also has a wonderful landscape. I took a lot of pictures there. But unfortunately, it was damaged in the Sichuan earthquake. It's really a pity. I will it will be rebuild to a nice place.
