Is Dujiangyan Irrigation Project just a historical site, or does it still help with irrigation?

Dujiangyan is remarkable because it’s not just a relic—it’s still fully functional! Its ancient design uses the natural flow of the Min River to divert water for farming, preventing floods and nourishing the Chengdu Plain. Farmers here still rely on it, making it a living example of sustainable engineering. You’ll see how its three key components (Yuzui, Feishayan, and Baopingkou) work together—truly a wonder of ancient wisdom.
