Dujiangyan, located in Dujiangyan City, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China, is the world's oldest and only surviving grand water conservancy project featuring water diversion without a dam, which was built in 256 B.C.E. by the father and son of Li Bing, the governor of Shu County in the Qin Dynasty. For more than 2,000 years, it has been playing the role of flood control and irrigation, making the Chengdu Plain the "Land of Heaven" with thousands of miles of fertile land. As a World Heritage Site, Dujiangyan not only demonstrates the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, but also integrates with natural landscapes such as Mount Qingcheng, making it a tourist attraction that combines history, culture and natural sceneries, and attracts tourists from all over the world to come and explore this "living water conservancy museum".
