PaD Shanghai: 67
View of part of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, originally created on the Min River around 250 BC during the Warring States Period, the (modernized and slightly altered) system still irrigates over 5,300 km² of the Chengdu Plain and made the plain one of China's most fertile agricultural areas - the system works by dividing the Min River into 2 parts and redirects most of the flow through a giant rock cutting in the side of a mountain to discharge into the Chengdu Plain
