都江堰坐落在成都平原西部的岷江上，据成都市约50公里，始建于公元前三世纪。它的独特之处在于无需用堤坝调控水流。两千多年来，都江堰一直有效地发挥防洪与灌溉的作用，使成都平原成为旱涝保收的沃土和中国最重要的粮食产地之一。都江堰工程体现我国人民与自然和谐共存的智慧，是全世界年代最久，仍在使用，无坝控水的水利工程。
Located on the Minjiang River in the west of the Chengdu Plain，Dujiangyan is about 50 kilometers away from Chengdu City，which was built in the third century BC. It is unique since there is no need to use dams to regulate the flow of water. For more than two thousand years, Dujiangyan has been effective in flood control and irrigation, making the Chengdu Plain a fertile soil for drought and flood protection and one of China’s most important grain production areas. As the oldest water control project in the world，the Dujiangyan Project embodies the wisdom of the harmonious coexistence of our people and nature，which is still in use and can control water without any blocking dam.
