The fourth day of Chengdu tour

October 18, 2020 Fourth day of Chengdu tour to Dujiangyan

We packed our luggage early in the morning, booked a car and a hotel online, and planned to go to Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain today.

It cost more than 100 yuan and took more than an hour to take a taxi to Dujiangyan to book a hotel. Put down the package and go to Dujiangyan. I also visited Dujiangyan in Tibet that year, but I had forgotten it and thought I had never been there. As I walked, it seemed so familiar to me, and then I remembered that I had been there before. If you don’t write travel notes, you won’t be able to remember anything. You’ll sleep in the car, pee when you get off the car, take photos at scenic spots, and you won’t know anything when asked. Once I develop the habit of writing travel notes, I will do my homework in advance. I will carefully write down where I go, pay more attention, observe more, take more photos, and be a thoughtful person. So I want to thank Sister Hong for letting me develop the good habit of taking things seriously and spending every day happily.

Dujiangyan is a large-scale water conservancy project built in ancient China and still in use today. It is located in the west of Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, 340 kilometers upstream of the Min River. Dujiangyan was built by Li Bing, the governor of Shu County in the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and his son from 256 BC to 251 BC. After successive renovations, Dujiangyan still plays a huge role for more than two thousand years.

The entire Dujiangyan hub can be divided into two major systems: the weir head and the irrigation water network. The weir head includes three main projects: Yuzui (water diversion project), Feishayan (overflow and sand discharge project), and Baopingkou (water diversion project). In addition, there are inner and outer diamond embankments, herringbone embankments and other ancillary buildings.

The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project mainly focuses on water diversion for irrigation, but also has comprehensive functions such as flood control and sediment discharge, water transportation, and urban water supply. The Chengdu Plain irrigated by it is world-famous as the "Land of Abundance".

I didn’t eat in the morning. I ate Chengdu noodles in the small town of Dujiangyan. I didn’t feel they tasted good.

We went back to the hotel in the afternoon to rest and have a good sleep. We wanted to go to Qingcheng Mountain. When we asked the locals, we said it was too late and too late. We might as well go tomorrow.

We saw a tower in the park, which seemed a bit dated, so we decided to go in and take a look. It is called Kuiguang Tower. With its seventeen-story hexagonal brick tower with dense eaves, it has become the only tower with the highest number of stories in my country. It was built during the Qing Dynasty.

We also asked where there were good places to eat in the local area. We wandered along the direction and found that the tributaries of the Minjiang River passed through the city. I like the rivers, lakes and water in cities best. Such cities are more agile and nourishing.

My sister was inspired and began to write poems and articles: Autumn water flows on Dujiangyan, and dew condenses silently on both sides. Lower your eyebrows and meditate on your inner thoughts, Xiaobai is the best way to relieve your worries! We were energetic and ready to watch Jiang Xiaobai on the riverside in the evening.

We were so excited that we posted it on WeChat Moments, and the friends in WeChat Moments were also full of poetry and calligraphy, and the ones who responded were even more talented.

It started to drizzle in the evening. My sister said that she liked this kind of drizzle best. It was like a humidifier, moisturizing the skin and moistening the heart.

We went to pick Jiang Xiaobai, and Jiang Xiaobai said: I have a bottle of wine and I have something to say to you. I have said many times that I will wait for you to be free, but I never wait until you are free. That bottle said this: Walking on a cold street at night with overflowing emotions, we both felt that it fit our current mood, and we were ready to overflow our emotions in a strange and cold street.

I found a restaurant with special feel based on my feeling, and it lived up to my high expectations. Steamed fish in beer air pot, duck head... the dishes were all very delicious, beautiful scenery, good wine, delicious food, wow! I am very poetic, I can’t write poems, I just use ancient poems. elder sister:

The wind blows the fish pot all over the shop, and Wu Ji presses wine for customers to taste. Overflowing with emotions, on a cold night, the white water in the river warms my intestines.

OK, cheers! This duck head is not that girl’s, it’s really delicious!

Me: Visitors from outside the Xunyang River, the maple leaves and flowers are rustling in autumn. My friends in the circle of friends immediately responded: I wanted to drink but there was no orchestra. If you are proud of life, you must enjoy it to the fullest. Don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. This night was so hearty and enjoyable. Cool! Cool! Cool!
