Li Bing's Dujiang Laiyan Water Conservancy Project occupies a glorious page not only in the history of water conservancy in China, but also in the history of water conservancy in the world. Its long history is world-famous, and its complete design is amazing! Many water conservancy projects were built in ancient China, among which Shaopi, Zhangshui Canal and Zheng Guoqu were quite famous, but they were abandoned one after another. Dujiangyan, founded by Li Bing, has been enduring for a long time, and still plays a variety of functions such as flood control, irrigation and transportation.

After Dujiangyan was completed, Li Bing built a water conservancy project in Luoshui Town, Shifang, Sichuan, where he died and was buried in Zhangshan Mountain next to Luoshui Town.

During his tenure as Shu Shou, Li Bing also contributed to other economic construction in Shu. Li Bing "knows the water vein, Tongguangdu (now Shuangliu, Chengdu) salt well, so the Shu land is full of health." Prior to this, salt mining in Sichuan was in a very primitive state, relying on natural salt springs and salt stones. Li Bing created the method of cooking salt with brine for sinking, which ended the original situation of salt making in Bashu.

This is also the earliest record of digging wells and boiling salt in China history books. Li Bing also built seven bridges in Chengdu: "Zhiximen Yongjiang Bridge; Shi Niu Gate in the southwest is called Chengqiao, and the stone rhinoceros is hidden in the deep; River bridge in the south of the city; Wan Li Bridge in Liu Yue, Du Nan; The west is called Yili Bridge, and the top is called Ruxiang Bridge. The bridge breaks from the swift bridge to the west, which is called Changsheng Bridge. There is Yongping Bridge to the west of Yongjiang River. " These seven bridges are conveniences on the canal.
