Introduction to Dujiangyan Irrigation System (都江堰)
Dujiangyan Irrigation System is located on the Mingjiang River, 45 kilometers from Chengdu. The ancient irrigation system has been present for 2,500 years and remains the one and only no dam irrigation system in the world. The irrigation was constructed under the orders of Sichuan official Li Bing during the Qin Dynasty. With no irrigation system Sichuan was often prone to floods due to the Minjiang River. The system took four years to complete and once the system was in place no more floods had occurred. |
