Qinyan Tower

Qinyan Tower

It is named after the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, which was built during the Qin Dynasty. This is the best spot to enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Dujiangyan area.

Qinyan Tower is a modern building designed in an ancient style. However, because its architectural style is consistent with that of the Two Kings Temple, it has been widely recognized by tourists and cultural heritage experts. It blends seamlessly with the Dujiangyan scenic area and the ancient architectural complex of the Two Kings Temple. In 2000, it was included as part of the World Heritage site, making it the only non-cultural relic structure within the Qingcheng Mountain–Dujiangyan World Heritage listing.

From the top of Qinyan Tower, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking view of the three major water projects of Dujiangyan, Anlan Bridge, the Two Kings Temple, the ancient post road, Yulei Pass, the Minshan Mountain snow peaks, and the Qingcheng Mountain ranges.
