Du Fu Cottage, Chengdu
Du Fu, a well-known poet of Tang Dynasty, has a strong influence in the field of Chinese poem. The cottage is the former residence of him. In the year 759 A.D., at the age of 47, compelled by poverty and social upheaval, he moved from Gansu to the outskirts of Chengdu and built a thatched hut.
During his stay of nearly four years, he composed more than 240 poems reflecting upon the misery of the people. The cottage consists of six important parts: the Front Gate, the Lobby, the Hall of poem History, the Water Pavilion, the Gongbu Shrine and the Thatched Cottage.
There are exhibits that provide details of Du Fu's life and work. In addition, tatues, stone carvings, paintings, and calligraphies by famous writers of different dynasties are also on display. However, the only thing resembling a cottage is a small model. Springtime in the park is a wonderful experience because of the beautiful mixture of flowers and traditional Chinese architecture.
