Then we will proceed the itinerary towards Mount Qinqcheng - approximately 30 minutes' driving. We will transfer to a 10-minute shuttle bus to reach the foot of the mountain, followed by hiking for 20 minutes to Yuecheng Lake, which is situated at the Front Mountain of Qingcheng. From there, we will embark on a short cruise to the cable car station and take the cable up the mountain. Afterwards, we will climb for 30 minutes to the famed Laojun Pavilion, a must-see for a Mt.

Tour Highlights
Dujiangyan Irrigation System
Dujiangyan is one of the most popular day trips in Chengdu. Built in 256 BC, this grand irrigation project has played a crucial role in flood prevention and water irrigation for over 2,000 years. As one of the top natural heritages of the world, Dujiangyan possesses abundant resources; brimming rivers, sheer cliffs, steep mountains, and tall ancient trees.
Mount Qingcheng
Regarded as one of the birthplaces of Taoism, Mt. Qingcheng is a fascinating tourist spot which can be divided into two sections: Front and Rear Mountains. Its name 'Qingcheng', literally meaning 'green city', describes its shape like a city enveloped by luxuriant evergreens and surrounded by plentiful peaks.
