Overview
Erwang Temple, also named Two Kings Temple, is located on the bank of the Minjiang River at the foot of Mount Yulei. This grand and solemn temple was built to commemorate Li Bing (the chief designer and engineer of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System) and his legendary son, whom they had posthumously promoted to kings since the Song Dynasty (960-1279).
History & Background
Erwang Temple was first built around Southern and Northern Dynasty (420-589) and reconstructed in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Covering an area of 50,000 square meters, this wooden complex is composed of two parts-landscaping in the east and palaces and halls in the west, based on the natural setting and geographical environment.The main hall and opisthodomos contain the statues of Li Bing and his son respectively. And the water-control pithy formula of Li Bing was carved on the stone stele in temple, for instance: "When the river flows in zigzags, cut a straight channel; when the riverbed is wide and shallow, dig it deeper."
Each year, local people held sacrifices activity here on the June 24th and 26th according to Chinese Lunar calendar to express their gratitude for Li Bing and his son; because the two days were their birthdays reputedly.
Erwang Temple after 5.12 Earthquake
Since the May 12, 2008, the violent earthquake played havoc with Erwang Temple. The entrance gate was ruined; and several palaces and halls collapsed. Qinyanlou, once regarded as the best spot overlooking the Dujiangyan Irrigation System was also sank. Now the reconstruction project is still carrying on.
The local people here have held memorial ceremonies for Li and his son for 2,200 years. Burning a stick of incense is the most common way visitors show their admiration and respect for the two immortalized heroes, and hence, one encounters the striking smell of incense from the moment you step into the temple. More recently, the main organized activities at Erwang Temple include the Temple Fair, held from June 24th to June 26th, according to the Chinese lunar calendar, and the Releasing Water Festival on Tomb Sweeping Day.

Tour Style:One day, one private car, and an English-speaking local guide who has already booked every ticket on the list. Mornings start early at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding so you catch the pandas while they are still active; after that, the pace slows to a hillside teahouse in Renmin Park, gaiwan jasmine tea in hand. Between the two you walk Jinli's lantern-lit lane and finish in Kuanzhai Alley, where restored Qing courtyards now sit alongside small shops and tea rooms. Pick-up and drop-off match your schedule — a Chengdu hotel, a train station, or the airport.
Duration:8 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base, Leshan Giant Buddha
Tour Style:Two UNESCO-listed sights on one private day out of Chengdu. The morning starts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding while the animals are still active in the cool hours, then the driver takes you south along the expressway to Leshan, where a 71-metre stone Buddha carved between 713 and 803 AD still stands at the junction of three rivers. Walk the Nine Bends Plank Road, take the river boat, or do both. English-speaking local guide, private air-conditioned car with an experienced driver, Panda Base and Leshan tickets included, hotel, train station, or airport pick-up.
Duration:2 Days, 1 Night
Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Panda Base, Renmin Park, Wuhou Temple, Jinli Street, Wenshu Monastery, Chengdu Museum, Tianfu Square
Tour Style:This two-day private tour moves between the old and new faces of Chengdu at your own pace. Day 1 starts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in the morning, when the pandas are feeding, then takes in the teahouse scene at Renmin Park, the Three Kingdoms shrines of Wuhou Temple, and the snack stalls and craft shops of Jinli Ancient Street. Day 2 covers the Buddhist halls of Wenshu Monastery, the collections of the Chengdu Museum, and the modern plaza at Tianfu Square. A private car and an English-speaking guide carry you between all of them, with pickup from your hotel, train station, or the airport, and the daily order flexes if you want longer at the panda base or a slower teahouse stop. Lunch is left open so your guide can point you to local kitchens rather than tourist menus.
Duration:8-9 Hours
Attractions(Cities):Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain
Tour Style:This day trip pairs two UNESCO-listed sights west of Chengdu: the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Qingcheng Mountain. A private car and driver collect you from your hotel, train station, or the airport and stop first at Dujiangyan, where an English-speaking guide walks you through the 256 BC waterworks that Li Bing and his son built without a dam, still carrying Min River water onto the Chengdu plain after more than 2,000 years. You see the Fish Mouth levee, Flying Sand Reef, and Bottle Neck channel up close. After lunch you drive to Qingcheng Mountain, a founding site of Taoism, and take the cable car and stone paths past the front-mountain temples. Lunch is left out on purpose so your guide can point you to a local Sichuan kitchen; pace, photo stops, and vegetarian or lighter requests are easy to adjust on a private tour.
Duration:3 Days 2 Nights
Attractions(Cities):Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Renmin Park, Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley

Day one covers the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in the morning, then Renmin Park teahouse, Jinli Ancient Street, and Kuanzhai Alley. Day two drives about two hours to the 71-metre Leshan Giant Buddha, seen from the cliff path or a Dadu River boat, then on to an overnight at the foot of Mount Emei. Day three rises by eco-bus and cable car to the Golden Summit at 3,077 metres and the old temples before the return to Chengdu. A private car, driver, and English-speaking guide handle tickets and transfers, and pick-up and drop-off run from your Chengdu hotel, station, or airport.
