We took a day trip to Dujiangyan to see a very interesting irrigation project built in 256 BC and is still in use today. Hard to believe the ingenuity that went into this project...especially considering that gunpowder hadn't been invented yet.
The girls were more interested in the snacks, the wobbly suspension bridge, and non-irrigation water features. Figures. But I will say...it was hot and buggy. Ice cream was not a bad idea.
And goodness, I do like that fountain! If we ever win the lottery, I'm going to get one of these turtle/dragon spraying fountains. Is that not one of the coolest things ever?!
