金河是唐代在成都城内修建的人工河，从西向东穿城而过，1566年整治之后河道未再有改变，由水西门入城，水东门出城，全长5087米，可行小船，清代后期有桥20多座。1971年，金河被改建为防空洞，全部加盖，河道消失。这一小段河道就是唯一幸存的一段金河。

        Old Course of Jinhe River

        Jinhe River, flowing from the west to east, was an artificial river built in Chengdu in the Tang Dynasty. The watercourse remained unchanged after being regulated in 1566. The 5,087m river flowed into the city from the west gate and out from the east gate. The small boat can pass through. There were over 20 bridges built in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1971, Jinhe River was reconstructed as air-raid shelter with cover; thus, the watercourse disappeared. This part of watercourse is the sole reserved Jinhe River.
