The entire Mount Qingchen experience was very encompassing, in and out of the rain and tremendous walking. People need to be prepared for that. The same goes for the Dujiangyan waterworks. We were hot and tired but did not want to miss anything! This is the only tour we have ever done where not one word of English was spoken. Our driver was polite and pointed the way but we will have to do our own research for explanations. Given our communication was thru messaging the office who would message the driver, it was overpriced but still overall a good experience.
We got a taxi to drop us at the Qinyan tower entrance at the top so had a good view of the river and irrigation area and then walked down through the area to the main gate in the town- Lidal entrance where we could easily catch another taxi. There are many temples to wander around, and a few description boards for the irrigation system as you walk down through the islands. Ticket was 80 RMB, free over 60 years. We weren’t given tickets but passport number was recorded and this is then checked at entrance gate to allow entry. I suggest handing passports to ticket seller open at name page, as I didn’t and she recorded an old African visa number instead of passport number which caused a bit of confusion and delay on entry. There is not much protection from the weather so either come on a fine day or come prepared with raincoats!
