years earlier than the Maya civilization, stand beside the water conservancy miracle built during the Warring States Period, and watch it divert the water volume of 7 West Lakes every day to irrigate thousands of acres of fertile farmland.

When night falls, the fluorescent blue waves of Dujiangyan Nanqiao (only 8 places in the world can be seen) will light up the ecological wisdom of ancient water
conservancy for you.
