Du Fu Thatched Cottage

Mr. Feng Zhi once said about the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu: "When people mention Du Fu, they can ignore his birthplace and place of death, but they can never forget the Thatched Cottage in Chengdu." Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located on Qinghua Road in Qingyang District. It was the residence built by the great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu to avoid the 'An Lushan Rebellion'. With the help of friends, he chose the elegant environment of Huanhua Creek to construct a thatched cottage, where he stayed for four years and wrote more than 240 popular poems, such as 'A Song of a Cottage Destroyed by Autumn Winds', 'Sad Parting', 'Sick Orange', 'Withered Palms', and other famous works. However, the original thatched cottage no longer exists. It was later rebuilt to commemorate the great poet, and the expanded Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum. Location introduction: To the northeast of Du Fu Thatched Cottage is the Sichuan Provincial Museum, and to the southeast is Huanhua Creek Park (that is, along Thatched Cottage Road, with the park on one side and the cottage on the other). It is recommended to plan a visit to both. Visiting time: The Du Fu Thatched Cottage is quite large, and it is generally recommended to reserve 1-2 hours for a visit. Scenic spot entrance: There is a main gate and a smaller gate, both on Thatched Cottage Road, with a small and ancient style. The north gate is larger, and tickets are usually purchased there, on Qinghua Road. Scenic spot landscape: Main gate---Daya Hall---Chaimen---Gongbu Shrine---Flower Path---Plum Garden---Du Poetry Calligraphy Woodcut Gallery---Thousand Buddha Tower---Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition Hall.

Wood Art Gallery: Distinctively Unique

Recently, during my revisit to the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, I discovered a highly distinctive 'Thatched Cottage Wood Art Gallery' near its north gate. Through the physical exhibits, photographs, and descriptions displayed in the gallery, I gained a clearer understanding: wood art encompasses wooden architecture, furniture, and carvings. I meticulously admired the traditional Chinese furniture and the various types of wood used, the exquisite woodwork, the small yet beautiful wooden architectural models, the fine wood carving artworks, and the wood art tools, both familiar and previously unseen... After the visit, I felt immensely enriched: Not only did I acquire knowledge about wood art, but I also enhanced my cultural appreciation for it!

Chengdu's most 'forest-style' museum, the flowers at the Du Fu Thatched Cottage have all bloomed

Coming to Chengdu, the two must-visit museums are the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Wuhou Shrine. Due to time constraints, I only visited the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and fell in love with its beautiful scenery~ 🌷 The Du Fu Thatched Cottage was the residence of Du Fu when he fled the An Lushan Rebellion in Chengdu. Du Fu lived here for four years and wrote more than 240 poems. However, the thatched cottage no longer existed after Du Fu left, and the current cottage was rebuilt during the Jiaqing era of the Qing dynasty, featuring a typical Chinese garden style. 🌷 Even if you're not interested in Du Fu, this is also a great place to enjoy spring and flowers. Large magnolias are in full bloom, thousands of pear trees are smiling, and potted azaleas are competing in beauty... The place transforms into a sea of flowers, with tranquility everywhere. 🛣️ Recommended route: South Gate ➡️ Cottage Exhibition Room ➡️ Daya Hall ➡️ Flower Path ➡️ Huanhua Shrine ➡️ Bonsai Garden ➡️ Tang Dynasty Ruins ➡️ Thatched Cottage ➡️ Gongbu Shrine ➡️ Chaimen ➡️ Shishi Hall ➡️ Dagai ➡️ Main Gate 🌷 However, there are many gates to the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and the layout inside is not very regular, so it can be a bit difficult to find your way. In that case, you can just wander at will, and the attractions you stumble upon are all beautiful~ 🌸 Flower Path: The Flower Path is where the famous red wall of the Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located. There are many people taking photos here, so it's recommended to take pictures at the corner to capture the moment when there are no people. 🌸 Bonsai Garden: There are large and small bonsai trees arranged here, which feels very leisurely and comfortable, and there are many beautiful azaleas! 🌸 Near the Thatched Cottage: The pond near the thatched cottage is really beautiful! You can enjoy the sound of the babbling brook, paired with the thatched cottage on the shore, it's very 'forest-style'. 🌸 Near the Tang Dynasty Ruins: There is a large pond near the ruins, with a small stone path laid on it, and you can even walk to the middle of the pond. There is a whole pear tree in bloom by the pond, paired with a small waterfall, the scenery is extremely pleasing to the eye. 🗒️ Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum 📍 No. 37, Qinghua Road, Qingyang District 🕒 9:00-18:00 💰 50 yuan 🌸 Recommended visiting time: 2-3 hours 🚇 Subway Line 5 Qingyang Palace

Chuanxi is back, let's talk about the big truths that aren't on the internet

Chuanxi is back, let's talk about the big truths that aren't on the internet.. ||- 1-If you're planning to fly to Chengdu, I suggest choosing Shuangliu Airport if you have a choice, as Tianfu is really too far away, about 70km from the city center, and it's not very convenient whether you take a taxi or the subway - 2-A 3-in-1 hardshell jacket is almost enough for winter in Chuanxi, but I recommend a hardshell jacket + fleece/down. I also don't suggest bringing a long down coat, as it's inconvenient for using the restroom - 3-The attractions in Chengdu city are very concentrated, and you can do it yourself. If you want to go to museums, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, or Sanxingdui, you can also book tickets in advance and enter with your ID card, no need to join a tour group. - 4-The group meals with bus tours are mostly Sichuan cuisine, and the drivers will take kickbacks. I sincerely suggest that if you join a bus tour, consider whether you can cancel the group meal and bring some dry food to eat on the road. We joined a small group, so we didn't have this concern - 5-If you want to buy local specialties, you usually choose milk balls, milk sticks, beef jerky, etc. I suggest buying them in the area of Siguniang Mountain or Kangding, which might be more economical. Anyway, don't buy them inside the scenic areas - 6-There are many little sheep and yaks on the roadside for you to take pictures with, but they charge a fee. Riding a yak costs about 50, and you can bargain hard during the off-season - 7-Chuanxi is vast, and I still suggest joining a tour group if you are traveling alone. Experienced drivers can consider self-driving, but I really don't recommend it for beginners, as this is the plateau! High altitude sickness and difficult roads are no joke - 8-If you're afraid of altitude sickness, observe in the hotel on the first day, because there is an incubation period for altitude sickness. If it's severe, go to a clinic to get an IV and inhale some oxygen. The effect of medical oxygen is not comparable to handheld oxygen - 9-I don't recommend choosing tours below market price, as they are basically shopping tours. Not only will they force you to shop, but they will also scare you into buying oxygen. Not only will you not save money, but it will also ruin your mood

Du Fu's Thatched Cottage is blooming with orchids

The color of orchids weaves into the spring light, a misty veil over all other fragrances. Orchids are known for their noble and unsullied nature, steadfast and constant, praised by poets and scholars for thousands of years. The orchids in Du Fu's Thatched Cottage are especially perceptive, understanding the essence of literature and the strength of character. In March, the orchid garden of the cottage is filled with the fragrance of flowers, thread by thread, and the greenery is lush and vibrant. If the sky is clear, all flowers shine brilliantly; if a drizzle persists, it only adds to the serene and comfortable atmosphere, complementing the orchids even more. 📍 Exhibition location: Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum Orchid Garden

Du Fu Thatched Cottage

Du Fu Thatched Cottage is the former residence of Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty in China, when he lived in exile in Chengdu. It is located at No. 37 Qinghua Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. Du Fu lived here for nearly four years, during which he wrote more than 240 poems. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the poet Wei Zhuang found the ruins of the cottage, rebuilt the thatched house, and thus preserved it. It was repaired and expanded during the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Du Fu Thatched Cottage covers an area of nearly 300 mu and still retains the architectural layout from the renovations and expansions in the thirteenth year of the Hongzhi era (1500) of the Ming Dynasty and the sixteenth year of the Jiaqing era (1811) of the Qing Dynasty. The screen wall, main gate, grand hall, Poet-Historian Hall, firewood gate, and Ministry of Works Temple are arranged along a central axis, flanked by symmetrical cloisters and other auxiliary buildings. The cottage houses a collection of over 30,000 volumes of various materials. In 1955, the Du Fu Memorial Hall was established, and in 1985, it was renamed the Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum.

Visiting Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu is a must to experience the charm of the great poet

After flying from Shanghai to Chengdu in the morning, head straight to the hotel Hello Hotel (Sichuan University Branch on Kehua North Road, Chengdu) for check-in. Since the hotel is not far from Du Fu Thatched Cottage, I rode a shared bike directly there. You can ride the shared bike all the way to the entrance of the scenic area (there are several entrances to the scenic area, so it's recommended to choose one based on your location). I can recommend staying at the Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Manxin Hotel, which is super close to the hotel, and I ended up staying there. 16:00 Enter the scenic area. The Du Fu Thatched Cottage is quite large, and it took me about half an afternoon to visit the entire area, but the truly worthwhile spots are mainly a few key points of interest. The cottage itself is very simple and unadorned, with nothing particularly special. A quick look and some photos are all you need. If you feel the need for a guide, you can hire one for an introduction, but I personally don't think it's necessary. The scenic area also introduces the experiences of Li Bai, as well as the shared experiences of Du Fu and Li Bai, and finally mentions Qu Yuan. These three historical figures had similar aspirations. Therefore, there are statues of all three in the square outside the cottage. Inside the scenic area, there are various statues of Du Fu and other poets, which you can also skip if you prefer. The scenic area also displays a variety of orchids and plum blossoms, and the landscaping is well done, making it suitable for visiting in spring and summer. The flower paths suitable for photography can get crowded, but around 16:50, there are usually fewer people. It is not recommended to visit the Tang Dynasty ruins at the northernmost part of the scenic area, as the facilities are old and not well-maintained, resembling an abandoned site. 18:00 Exit the scenic area. There were no shared bikes at the entrance. At this point, it is recommended to walk to Qinghua Road, where you can find bikes. Don't make the same mistake I did by walking south, as that area is Huanhua Creek Park and a villa district, with no shared bikes. Of course, if you're taking a taxi, you can ignore this advice.

Du Fu Thatched Cottage, the scenery here is uniquely splendid

Despite the fierce return of winter chill in Chengdu these past few days, there is always a big sun every few days, which is very rare in Chengdu. The Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum, this famous tourist attraction in Chengdu, has always been very popular, with both locals and tourists from other places enjoying visiting the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum. Recently, the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum is very beautiful, especially when the sun is out. Although it is still in anticipation of the arrival of spring, the museum is blooming with flowers, especially the red plum blossoms, which are in full bloom, presenting a picturesque scenery. The beautiful views have attracted many citizens and visitors.

Du Fu Thatched Cottage - A perfect combination of natural and cultural landscapes

Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located on the banks of the Huanhua Creek in Chengdu, and was the residence of the great poet Du Fu during his stay in Chengdu. Du Fu wrote more than 240 poems during the 3 years and 9 months he lived here, many of which are widely acclaimed masterpieces. Today, the Thatched Cottage site covers more than 300 acres, with the main commemorative buildings of the Grand Shrine, the Poetry History Hall, and the Ministry of Works Shrine situated along the central axis, serene and tranquil. To the east of the hall, there is a flower path, and to the west, a waterside pavilion; behind the shrine, pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions are scattered, adding to the charm. 🌟 Highlights: The Ministry of Works Shrine not only enshrines Du Fu but also Huang Tingjian and Lu You, three literary giants who were not from Sichuan but have deep connections with the region and are renowned for both their character and literary works. The Shaoling Stele Pavilion is one of the most representative buildings of the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, with a thatched roof and a stone stele inside inscribed with the words 'Shaoling Thatched Cottage' written by Prince Yunli, whose calligraphy is genuinely impressive. I particularly like the Daya Hall, whose plaque 'Daya Hall' was written by the famous Tang Dynasty calligrapher Yan Zhenqing, vigorous and powerful. Inside the Daya Hall, there is the largest collection of colored glaze inlaid lacquer brushwork in China and statues of 12 famous poets from various dynasties, vividly presenting the development of classical Chinese poetry. The statues of the poets each capture their unique characteristics. The statue of Du Fu is located in the courtyard, looking particularly thin and frail, with a hint of the charm of Giacometti's sculptures. The sculpture of Su Shi is lying down, in a pose somewhat similar to that of Paulina, the treasure of the Musée Bourdelle, fully displaying the unrestrained attitude of 'the great river eastward flows'. The statue of Lu You is depicted riding a donkey, perhaps reflecting the poet's journey through the rain into the Sword Gate. The statue of Chen Ziang contemplates the vastness of the universe, alone and tearful. 👍 Most recommended: Friends who love Chinese poetry should not miss this attraction. It is highly recommended to book a guided tour service.
