| Climate |
| In the eastern basin area and the
lower western valleys that are sheltered from cold polar
air masses by the surrounding mountains, there are 350
frost-free days in the east, and the growing season lasts
nearly all year round. In the west, the sheltering effect
of the mountains is evident from the contrast between
the perennially snow-capped peaks and the mild weather
prevailing in the valleys beneath them. |

Irrigation System |

|
The Dujiangyan Irrigation
System is a pearl in the water works construction of
ancient China. Built over 2,200 years ago, it still provides
benefits for the people. The irrigation system was erected
on the Minjiang River at the foot of Yulei Mountain originally
blocked the river so that water could not flow eastward,
the plain had no access to river irrigation and agricultural
development in the region was therefore seriously affected.
Li Bing, governor of Shu Prefecture during the Warring
States period (475-221 BC), made a careful survey of
the region and then had a channel cut through Yulei Mountain.
He put a dyke in the middle of the Minjiang River to
divide it into two parts. This happened about 250 BC.
He also ordered the local people to open channels and
canals on the plain so as to divert the river for irrigation
purposes. This finally turned the agricultural potential
of the plain into a land of abundance.

| Emei
Mount |
|
|
|
| The first Buddhist temple
in China was built here in Sichuan Province in the 1st
century A.D. in the beautiful surroundings of the summit
Mount Emei. The addition of other temples turned the
site into one of Buddhism's holiest sites. Over the centuries,
the cultural treasures grew in number. Mount Emei is
also notable for its exceptionally diverse vegetation,
ranging from subtropical to subalpine pine forests. Some
of the trees there are more than 1,000 years old. |
|
| Jiuzhaigou |
|
|
|
| Stretching over 72,000
ha in the northern part of Sichuan Province, the jagged
Jiuzhaigou valley reaches a height of more than 4,800
m, thus comprising a series of diverse forest ecosystems.
Its superb landscapes are particularly interesting for
their series of narrow conic karst land forms and spectacular
waterfalls. Some 140 bird species also inhabit the valley,
as well as a number of endangered plant and animal species,
including the giant panda and the Sichuan takin. |
