It is recommended to go down from the top, which not only saves energy, but also allows you to see Erwang Temple and Anlan Bridge in turn, and arrive at the most spectacular and most worth-seeing place in the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project - the fish mouth. The Fish Mouth is the dam that serves as a diversion between the inner and outer rivers. This cobblestone structure, built like a fish's mouth, is not flat. It allows the river to fly down into the Outer River during the rainy season, while retaining enough water to flow into the Inner River during the dry season so that crops in the Chengdu Basin can survive.

Next to the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project is an old street called West Street. It has accompanied the sound of the river wind and water for thousands of years. Although the history of the West Street is not as long as that of Dujiangyan, it is the starting point of the Southern Silk Road into Tibet, which is a typical ancient tea-horse road. As early as in the Qing Dynasty, the West Street is the merchants endless distribution center.

West Street is about 390 meters long, narrow streets, is a very small stone road. Here since ancient times is a lively commercial street, street houses, stores are mostly one or two-story wooden structure, with typical characteristics of western Sichuan. Nowadays, most of the people who come to Dujiangyan like to come to the West Street to walk and stroll around, and listen to the story of Li Bing and the water conservancy project.

Qingcheng Mountain, named after its verdant forests, evergreen in all seasons, and its peaks, which look like the outline of a city, is a mountain full of vigor and vitality, with up to 95% forest coverage, and, naturally, "Qingcheng is the most beautiful city in the world". It is also famous for Mr. Yu Qiuyu's phrase "asking about Mount Qingcheng".

-Located in the western part of Dujiangyan, it is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, and is known as "Qingcheng World of Secrets". -Divided into two scenic spots, the front mountain and the back mountain, most tourists go to the front mountain, the back mountain is more suitable for hiking enthusiasts. -The area of the front mountain is small, almost a hundred steps can see a palace, in the dense vegetation covered with classical and mysterious. -The back of the mountain area is larger, maintained a fairly primitive style, the palace incense, although not as good as the front of the mountain, but more secluded and clean.

As a World Heritage Site, a World Natural Heritage Site, and one of the four most famous Taoist mountains in China, Mount Qingcheng has become a must-visit place for most outsiders to Chengdu. The entrance fee is 90 RMB for the front mountain and 20 RMB for the back mountain; the front mountain has more tourists and a stronger atmosphere of Taoism and religion, while the back mountain is usually where locals climb for exercise in their spare time, with lush vegetation on the mountain, which is relaxing and clean. If you like to climb the mountain, we recommend the secluded back of the mountain, you can choose to take a section of the ropeway, and then climb a section of the mountain way. The back of the mountain at the foot of the mountain also has a lot of farmhouse, as a small rest point after climbing is also a good choice.

In addition, to give you a special recommendation for most people do not know Qingcheng outer mountain. Without climbing the mountain and without buying tickets, you can also fully feel the seclusion of Qingcheng in the B&B and Puzhao Temple.
