Dujiangyan in Chengdu  Dujiangyan An irrigation infra-structure built in 256 BC during the Warring States Period of China by the Kindom of Qin.  It is located in the Min River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, near Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.  It is still in use today and still irrigates over 5,300 square kilometers of land in the region.

Flying Sand Weir of Dujiangyan  Feishayan or Flying Sand Weir has a 200 m-wide opening that connects the inner and outer streams. This ensures against flooding by allowing the natural swirling flow of the water to drain out excess water from the inner to the outer stream. A modern reinforced concrete weir has replaced Li Bing’s original weighted bamboo baskets
