Jinjiang River traverses the central part of Chengdu, contributing to the fame and glamor of Chengdu's many historic and cultural events. It has two main streams called Fuhe River and Nanhe River. Starting from Dujiangyan, the 150-km river goes outbound from Shuangliu District.

In February of 2016, local government of Chengdu implemented ten regulations on water control. In 2017, the city started a program on water ecology management and building a greenway along Jinjiang River. As a result, the water quality of Jinjiang River has been improved a lot.
