Mount Qingcheng and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System

Mount Qingcheng and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System (UNESCO cultural heritage site since 2000)
 
Mount Qingcheng and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System
 
Mount Qingcheng, located in the southwest of Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, is over 2,000 m above sea level. Adorned with ancient trees, it is regarded as one of the birth-places of Taoism. At one time, there were more than 100 Taoist temples, and even today dozens remain intact. Two of them are of particular interest- the Tianshi (Grand Master's) Cave and the Shangqing (Superior Heaven) Palace.
 
The Dujiangyan IrrigationSystem, a huge water-conservancy project and triumph of hydrology, was built by the local prefect Li Bing in227 BC, during the reign of Emperor Zhao of Qin. It is situated west of Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province. The oldest water-conservancy project in China - a landmark in the history of Chinese scientific and technological development, it is also the oldest and only extant major water-conservancy project without a dam diversion in the world. The project used to bring a lot of farmland under irrigation, turning the West Sichuan Plain into a "land of abundance." It still performs this role today.

Mount Qingcheng

 Mount Qingcheng
 
 
Mount Qingcheng, meaning "Green Town" in Chinese, is noted for its ancient trees. Located in the Dujiangyan scenic spot of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Mount Qingcheng is one of the four famous Taoist mountains. Surrounded by countless peaks and densely covered with ancient trees, branches reaching the sky, Mount Qingcheng is called the quietest place under heaven. That may be the reason that Taoists in ancient times chose Mount Qingcheng to cultivate their spirits. Mount Qingcheng is divided into two parts, a front and arrear area. The former is noted for its beautiful scenery and numerous cultural and historic sites: the latter, for its mysterious views.
