Chengdu · Day Trip
The two world-heritage sights of the west — the 2,300-year-old irrigation system and the misty Taoist mountain, an hour from Chengdu by rail.
Morning high-speed train from Chengdu (30 min), then the Fish Mouth, the Flying Sand Weir and the crossing of the Anlan Suspension Bridge.
Afternoon up the misty Taoist mountain — the Moon Lake ferry, the cable car and the Tianshi Cave — before the evening train back.
