Dujiangyan Irrigation System
After lunch, you will head to the famous Dam, Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a massive project originally constructed around 256 BC by the Qin state. Located on the Min River tributary of the Yangtze, the system was designed to conserve water and control flooding, and still irrigates 2,046 square miles (5,300 sq km) of land today.

Great Panda tour and nice temple at the water irrigation place.
This was a very nice private several hours tour. Bella, our guide did an excellent job. She was very professional and friendly. We went first to the Dujiangyan Panda base which was very nice and not at all crowded. Bella knew quite well were to go, at what time and the best locations to watch the Pandas. After that, she took us to the Water irrigation system. I was a little skeptical to go and see a dam of it turn to be a super interesting experience about a wonderful piece of Engineering but also with the visit of a temple and group of buildings that was awesome. Some of the best pictures from the China trip. At all times, Bella did a great job and was always willing to help. Furthermore, we made the comment about needing to buy a new bag/luggage and in our way back to the hotel we stopped in a market to buy it! That is customer service! The driver was also very polite and professional and the car was very nice and comfortable. Great day watching Pandas and other interesting places, great pictures and very nice and friendly company with Bella! Highly recommended tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your day with our guide, from the pandas to the surprising irrigation system and her attentive service. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the guide and the driver. We hope to welcome you back for another great experience!

Had a great and enjoyable day visiting both the Chengdu Panda Base as well as Dujiangyan Water works, our guide Daisy gave us very good introduction of the history and the construction of the water works. We also had a nice lunch of “Cai Huo Ji”.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you had a great and enjoyable day exploring the Panda Base and the Dujiangyan Waterworks with our guide. It's wonderful that her introductions to the history and construction were so insightful. We're also glad you enjoyed the authentic "Cai Huo Ji" lunch. We hope the rest of your trip is just as memorable!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chengdu.
How much does Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu cost?
+
Prices start at $239 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chengdu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chengdu is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chengdu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chengdu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chengdu and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour to Dujiangyan Panda Base & Dam from Chengdu start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chengdu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chengdu?
+
On Outty we rank every Chengdu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chengdu Cooking Class with a Local Market Visit, Private Chengdu Day Tour: Giant Pandas and Jinsha Site Museum, Tuktuk Food Tour Through Chengdu's Local Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chengdu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chengdu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
