Your driver will pick you up directly from your hotel in Chengdu. Sit back and enjoy a comfortable ride through the Sichuan countryside (1 hour).

Dujiangyan Irrigation System: one of the most remarkable achievements of ancient engineering and a true symbol of harmony between humans and nature. Built over 2,000 years ago, this still-functioning water management system continues to control the flow of the Min River without the use of dams. As you walk through the site, you will witness the ingenious design of the Fish Mouth Levee, where the river is naturally divided, and the Bottle-Neck Channel, which regulates water flow with extraordinary precision. Surrounded by lush mountains and crossed by historic bridges, the entire area offers not only impressive views but also a deep sense of history and innovation that has shaped the region for centuries. (2 hours)

Enjoy a short and scenic drive to the foot of Mount Qingcheng (30 minutes).

Mount Qingcheng provides a perfect contrast to the power of Dujiangyan. Known as one of the birthplaces of Taoism, the mountain is covered in dense greenery and often wrapped in soft mist, creating a serene and almost mystical atmosphere. With the help of a scenic cable car ride, you will effortlessly ascend into the heart of the mountain, where quiet pathways lead you to hidden temples and sacred sites. Among them, Tianshi Cave stands out as a place of spiritual significance, where ancient traditions are still alive today. Walking through this tranquil landscape, you will not only enjoy the natural beauty but also experience a sense of calm and reflection that defines the essence of Taoist philosophy. (3 hours)

Relax on your journey back to Chengdu (1 hour).
