Chengdu: Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum Ticket for Adult
Du Fu Thatched Cottage, located at 37 Qinghua Road in Chengdu's Qingyang District, is the former residence of Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu during his stay in Chengdu. In the winter of 759 AD, Du Fu fled the chaos of the An Lushan Rebellion and settled in Chengdu. By the following spring, with the help of friends, he built a thatched hut by Huanhua Stream, known as the "Chengdu Thatched Cottage," where he lived for nearly four years and composed over 240 poems. These works vividly reflect the social realities of the Tang Dynasty and have earned Du Fu the title of "Poet Historian." The site spans nearly 300 acres and preserves architectural features from the Ming Dynasty (1500 AD) and the Qing Dynasty (1811 AD). The main structures, aligned along a central axis, include the Front Gate, Grand Lobby, Poetry History Hall, Chaimen Gate, and Gongbu Shrine, flanked by symmetrical corridors and auxiliary buildings. The lush gardens, bamboo groves, and flowing streams create a serene and picturesque environment. The Poetry History Hall serves as the centerpiece, housing a statue of Du Fu and plaques inscribed with famous calligraphy. The Gongbu Shrine honors Du Fu alongside poets Huang Tingjian and Lu You, who also resided in Sichuan. The reconstructed Thatched Hut Area replicates Du Fu's rustic dwelling, offering visitors a glimpse into his pastoral lifestyle. The museum boasts over 30,000 items, including ancient editions, manuscripts, and translations of Du Fu's works, making it a vital resource for studying his life and poetry. Established in 1955 as the Du Fu Memorial Museum and renamed the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum in 1985, it was designated as a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit in 1961. Du Fu Thatched Cottage is not only a cultural landmark celebrating the legacy of one of China's greatest poets but also a showcase of classical Chinese garden design, attracting countless visitors who come to experience the poetic charm and historical significance of this treasured site.
