南桥夜景
A beautifully illuminated pedestrian bridge and riverside area popular with locals in the evening. The colorful lights, reflections on the water and lively street atmosphere make it an excellent spot for night photography.
都江堰体育场
A multi-purpose stadium that is used mostly for association football matches. The stadium holds 12,700 people. The venue broke ground in February 2008 with original name Dujiangyan Sports Centre Stadium. It opened in May 2010 with a new name "Phoenix", which was in memory of the city rebirth from 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
Short beginner-friendly workshops on Sichuan opera mask painting, bamboo weaving, or incense making. Sessions last 1–2 hours.
都江堰古城
While little in the old city is original, it has been beautifully reconstructed as a tourist site. The old city is absolutely worth strolling through for its architecture, and there are interesting descriptions of the place's history. But the stores are of no particular interest and you'll probably choose to avoid them. Be sure to see the east city gate (very impressive, but rebuilt only in 2010!) and the street inside it.
Beginner-friendly rafting trips on the Min River, available June–September. Operators provide helmets and life jackets. Scenic mountain-and-river views along the way.
The old city and riverside paths are beautifully illuminated at night. Perfect for relaxed evening strolls, photography, and street snacks.
