River flows past Dujiangyan Dam, outside Chengdu

Negotiating the rocky footbridge, Dujiangyan Dam
Ancient dam construction techniques, Dujiangyan
Arrived in Chengdu mid-day after an uneventful flight from Shanghai. Our guide, Sophia, and our driver picked us up, and we headed straight for the ancient dam at Dujiangyan outside the city. Traffic jams were terrible, and the air was thick with smog. A light drizzle fell as we walked from one end of the dam to another, and over 2 footbridges that rocked a lot when encouraged by many of the Chinese tourists. The weather put somewhat of a damper on the day, but the bridge was interesting.
