Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dujiangyan is considered one of the three great hydraulic projects that took place in the Qin Dynasty(秦朝).
Dujiangyan (都江堰), an ancient irrigation system, was built around 256 BC by the Qin official Li Bing(李冰) and his son. It was built to protect farmland from the destructive flood, caused by the Min River, by diverting and channeling water without building a dam.
