The project consists of the Fish Mouth Levee, the Feisha Weir flood channel, and the Baopingkou water diversion mouth as the three main components, along with subsidiary projects such as the Baizhang Dyke and the Renzi Dyke. It separates the turbulent Minjiang River into the outer river for flood discharge and the inner river for irrigation, turning the western Sichuan Plain into the 'Land of Abundance'. 2. Wuhou Shrine The Wuhou Shrine in Chengdu is a temple dedicated to the heroes of the Shu Han, such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. It was founded in the first year of the Zhaolie Emperor of Shu Han (221 AD) when Liu Bei's Hui Ling was built, and the Han Zhaolie Temple was constructed at the same time. 3.

Coming to Chengdu, the two must-visit museums are the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Wuhou Shrine. Due to time constraints, I only visited the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and fell in love with its beautiful scenery~ 🌷 The Du Fu Thatched Cottage was the residence of Du Fu when he fled the An Lushan Rebellion in Chengdu. Du Fu lived here for four years and wrote more than 240 poems. However, the thatched cottage no longer existed after Du Fu left, and the current cottage was rebuilt during the Jiaqing era of the Qing dynasty, featuring a typical Chinese garden style. 🌷 Even if you're not interested in Du Fu, this is also a great place to enjoy spring and flowers. Large magnolias are in full bloom, thousands of pear trees are smiling, and potted azaleas are competing in beauty... The place transforms into a sea of flowers, with tranquility everywhere. 🛣️ Recommended route: South Gate ➡️ Cottage Exhibition Room ➡️ Daya Hall ➡️ Flower Path ➡️ Huanhua Shrine ➡️ Bonsai Garden ➡️ Tang Dynasty Ruins ➡️ Thatched Cottage ➡️ Gongbu Shrine ➡️ Chaimen ➡️ Shishi Hall ➡️ Dagai ➡️ Main Gate 🌷 However, there are many gates to the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and the layout inside is not very regular, so it can be a bit difficult to find your way. In that case, you can just wander at will, and the attractions you stumble upon are all beautiful~ 🌸 Flower Path: The Flower Path is where the famous red wall of the Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located. There are many people taking photos here, so it's recommended to take pictures at the corner to capture the moment when there are no people. 🌸 Bonsai Garden: There are large and small bonsai trees arranged here, which feels very leisurely and comfortable, and there are many beautiful azaleas! 🌸 Near the Thatched Cottage: The pond near the thatched cottage is really beautiful! You can enjoy the sound of the babbling brook, paired with the thatched cottage on the shore, it's very 'forest-style'. 🌸 Near the Tang Dynasty Ruins: There is a large pond near the ruins, with a small stone path laid on it, and you can even walk to the middle of the pond. There is a whole pear tree in bloom by the pond, paired with a small waterfall, the scenery is extremely pleasing to the eye. 🗒️ Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum 📍 No. 37, Qinghua Road, Qingyang District 🕒 9:00-18:00 💰 50 yuan 🌸 Recommended visiting time: 2-3 hours 🚇 Subway Line 5 Qingyang Palace
