Explore Yuzui: Dujiangyan’s 2,000-Year-Old Fish Mouth Marvel

Hey, explorers! 🌎 Ready to dive into an ancient engineering marvel that’s been rocking the Chengdu Plain for over 2,000 years? Meet Yuzui (aka the Fish Mouth) in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, on the Chinese mainland. This 500+ meter-long structure, shaped like a fish’s mouth, splits the roaring Minjiang River into the Inner and Outer Rivers.

Built around 256 BC, Yuzui isn’t just a cool selfie spot—it was the brainchild of ancient water wizards who tamed floods and boosted farmland irrigation. Thanks to smart design and careful upgrades (think cobblestone, concrete, steel), it still keeps the water flow in check and the paddy fields happy!

Visiting today feels like stepping into a history movie. You’ll see how river lore meets modern support beams, and you can almost hear the echoes of engineers past patting themselves on the back. Whether you’re a culture buff, a travel junkie, or someone who loves a good 'how did they build that?' story, Yuzui has your name on it.

Tag your crew, plan a trip, and get ready to witness a fish mouth that’s been protecting millions of lives and acres of farmland for centuries. That’s #AncientEngineering goals right there! 🎯💧🐟
