Instead, he employed a new method by channeling and dividing the water to harness the Minjiang River. He accomplished this by separating the project in to two main parts: the headwork and the irrigation system. The project effectively put the flooding waters under control.On the 29th of november 2000,Dujiangyan Irrigation system and Mt.Qingcheng were placed on the world cultural Heritage list.After the sightseeing in Djiangyan, we will back to Chengdu downtown directly.
