Fabulous time. The irrigation system is impressive but the temples all around are just as impressive. The combination of the history of the water control system, the temples and the beautiful nature of the area make the trip completely worth it. Fresh air, history and a great view just outside of Chengdu. Should not be missed.

We had a great experience, wonderful day trip to Dujiangyan Panda Base and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. The pandas were adorable and the scenery was beautiful. Everything was very well organized. Everything ran smoothly and on time. Very professional and comfortable service.

Our tour guy was so good but can’t remember his name. He was so informative and educational and we were with my 14 and year old and they even really enjoyed joyed it. We all learned a lot and the scenery was beautiful, very picturesque. I’d highly recommend.
