Mount Qingcheng & Dujiangyan

Getting there

These are separate areas outside Chengdu. For the irrigation site, check trains to Lidui Park and the last leg to its entrance. For Mount Qingcheng, use Qingchengshan station and arrange a local connection to the chosen gate.

Admission

Check tickets for the exact site and area you want. Mountain shuttles and cable cars can have separate fares. Save the return train reservation before setting out.

What to see

At Dujiangyan, look from a higher viewpoint at how the channels divide the river. At Qingcheng, choose a route to match the time you have for walking uphill.

Plan your visit

Treat the mountain and the irrigation site as separate stops. For a leisurely day, focus on one first and leave room for transfers.

Allow most of a day for one site at a comfortable pace. Mount Qingcheng involves wet or steep steps in places, so check the weather and pick a shorter route if needed.
