Du Fu Thatched Cottage is the former Chengdu residence of the famous Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu. Du Fu lived here for nearly four years. During his stay, he created hundreds of poems. This place is thus regarded as the “holy land” of Chinese literature. Today's Du Fu Thatched Cottage has survived multiple dynasties and been restored many times. The most important architecture of the place is his former residence, the thatched house. This former residence was built with the architectural characteristics of the western Sichuan civilian residences.

Show More ReviewsThe weather was too hot, which affected sightseeing a bit. We came to Chengdu for summer vacation and took the kids to Du Fu Thatched Cottage. We rented an audio guide for them. They've already learned about Du Fu's poems in school, so we came specifically to experience it. The only problem was the temperature; it was unbearably hot.
