Erwang Temple
Commemorating Li Bing and his son, who built the Dujiangyan irrigation system. Their project truly benefited generations, and it is still in use today. We truly admire their leadership and the damless water diversion. However, generations have maintained it over the ages, benefitting the world for millennia.

Qingcheng Mountain
Qingcheng Mountain is still quite large. On the day we went, we actually didn’t finish exploring the back mountain. Perhaps our physical strength couldn’t keep up, and we had to rest every few steps. In the end, we took the cable car down. However, the air on Qingcheng Mountain is truly excellent, making people feel incredibly relaxed.
