and the Blue Tear

If you have a plan for a trip to the Qingchengshan-Dujiangyan Scenic Spot, don’t miss the night view.

As night falls, take a stroll on the South Bridge, feel the river breeze on your face, and admire iconic sights like the Fulong (Dragon-taming) Temple and Baopingkou (Bottleneck) . Most enchanting of all is the “Blue Tears”-the glowing blue waters of the Minjiang River-casting a dreamlike glow that leaves visitors utterly captivated.
