How to Visit
1
Decide free park or ticketed extension
Use the free park route if you only want a local walk and city views. Buy the Dujiangyan Scenic Area ticket only if you plan to continue into the core scenic-area side.
Tip:This prevents paying for more than you can use.
2
Take the lighter city-park loop first
The free route around forested paths, small temples, and lower viewpoints works well as a short break from the old town.
Tip:It is not as essential as the main waterworks route.
3
Add the higher view only if weather is clear
The higher sections are most useful for views over Dujiangyan and the river. On hazy, rainy, or hot days, keep the walk shorter.
Tip:View quality changes with weather.
4
Finish near Guanxian Ancient City
Use the park as a walking link to the old town, then continue to food streets or South Bridge in the evening.
Tip:This makes the park a useful connector instead of a separate destination.
Highlights
- Free local walking option near the old town
- Viewpoints over Dujiangyan city and the scenic-area side
- Useful connector between hillside paths and Guanxian Ancient City
- Quieter add-on for travelers who still have energy after the main sights
- Clear ticket boundary between free park and core scenic-area access
Insider Tips
✦Do not confuse the free park area with the ticketed core scenic area.
✦Use mosquito repellent in warm months.
✦Avoid the longer uphill walk in the hottest part of summer days.
✦Pair it with Guanxian Ancient City instead of planning a full day here.
✦If you want the full engineering view, prioritize Dujiangyan Scenic Area first.
