Reviewed By ursbruno - Basel, Switzerland
We came by taxi from the Qingcheng Mountain Base to the Main Entrance (40 RMB). At the entrance is a special desk for foreigners with a English speaking person. We enjoyed the walk on the hanging bridge over the Feishayan Spillway, where during the flooding season the stone and sand will be deposited. We followed the Eastern Road on the Fish, the divider of the inner and outer River. We reached a food area, where we enjoyed local dishes with a Harbin Beer. Further up the island you reach the Yuzui Water dividing Dike. The inner River will bring the water to the Chengdu plain for irrigation, and the outer river will bring away the additional flood water in rainy saison, avoiding the flooding of the Chengdu area for over 2000 years! Over the Anlan Suspension Bridge we reached the path to the Julei Pass, where you have a good view over the whole Dujiangyan Scenic Area. On the way down you reach the Shidian Temple and the antique town. Walking down the main street with many shops and food outlets, you reach the ancient Gate. Walk through the gate, cross the bridge ahead and turn right into the open park. Cross the park and turn right on the street ahead. After crossing the bride you see on the right hand side a glas covered stairway, leading down to the Lidui Park Station, where you can take the High Speed Train back to Chengdu (20 RMB). Calculate 3 hours or more for an enjoyable excursion within the Lidui Park.
