🏡Poetry hidden in downtown Chengdu: A complete guide to visiting Du Fu's Thatched Cottage📖

Tucked away in a bustling corner of Chengdu, Du Fu's Thatched Cottage 🏡 is surrounded by bamboo forests and gurgling streams, creating a tranquil and secluded retreat. A vermilion wall winds its way through, swaying bamboo shadows outside and ancient cypresses within. The scenery changes with every step, brimming with poetic beauty.

The thatched cottage remains the same, its reed-covered roof and simple wooden door, almost echoing the poet's lament, "I wish I had a thousand mansions!" Inside Daya Hall, a solemn statue of Du Fu stands amidst inscriptions by poets from past dynasties, a blend of ink fragrance and ancient charm. The pond within the garden reflects the pavilions, and the wind rustles the bamboo leaves. The garden embodies the elegance of a literati garden while imbuing it with the profound power of a millennium of poetic spirit.
