PRI Tour to Dujiangyan & Mt Qingcheng

Discover an ancient engineering marvel and a place of profound cultural significance on this private day trip from Chengdu. Your personal guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive about an hour to the UNESCO-listed Dujiangyan Irrigation System. Built around 256 BC by the Qin state, this remarkable water management project on the Min River transformed the Sichuan basin by conserving water and controlling floods. It continues to irrigate over 2,000 square miles of farmland today. Your guide will share fascinating insights into how this ancient system helped shape the region’s prosperity and prevented flooding in nearby areas.

After exploring Dujiangyan, enjoy a delicious lunch before heading to Mount Qingcheng, one of the most important Taoist centers in China. Known as the place where the legendary Yellow Emperor studied, Qingcheng is celebrated as one of the most peaceful and secluded mountains under heaven. Take a cable car to the summit to visit the historic Shanqing Temple and its ancient relics, followed by a stop at Laojun Pavilion, located at the highest peak. From here, you can admire breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape before descending and returning to Chengdu to conclude your enriching day.
