You can often explore the core area on foot, but exact walkability depends on your property’s location, so check the listing for how close it is to transit and attractions.
You usually do not need a car if your plans center on Dujiangyan’s main sights and local dining, since many visitors rely on taxis, ride-hailing, or public transport for getting around.
