Dujiangyan is short for“ Fill”, It is directly under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province and managed by Chengdu City. It is located at the mountain pass of Minjiang River on the northwest edge of Chengdu Plain, named after Dujiangyan, a water conservancy project; The city borders Pengzhou City, Pidu District and Wenjiang District in the east, Wenchuan County in the west and north, and Guanxian County in the past

In the 13th year of the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty (1276), Guankou Village was used to establish Guanzhou, and Qingcheng County and Daojiang County were abolished. In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1376), Guanxian Prefecture was designated as Guanxian County. In the 10th year of Hongwu’s reign (1377), Chongning County was evacuated to Guanxian County. It was followed in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. In May 1988, Guanxian County was removed from the county and changed its name to Dujiangyan City

都江堰上的安澜索桥
二王庙前的安澜桥是我国著名的五大古桥之一。安澜索桥始建于宋代以前，明末毁于战火。索桥以木排石墩承托，用粗如碗口的竹缆横飞江面，上铺木板为桥面，两旁以竹索为栏，全长约500米。

普济桥
清光绪四年(1878)，县令陆葆德用丁宝桢大修都江堰的结余银两设计施工，建成木桥，名“普济桥”。1925年重建。

南桥原名为“普济桥”，曾多次损毁，1958年经洪水冲毁后，1959年重建，更名为“南桥”，现存南桥是1979年由灌县政府城建委主持修建。

灌县的基督徒在道教的庙里开会，能在这里面传基督教，看来道家很包容啊！
