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

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).

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.

Time: 2024.01.27 Saturday 19:00 Venue: Chengdu Dong'an Lake Sports Park Multi-functional Gymnasium The beginning of 2024 is all about nostalgia, with Huang Pinyuan from our childhood memories bringing his Xiao Wei along. Do you remember how you felt when you first heard the song Xiao Wei? Come to the concert and take the opportunity to experience the sights of Chengdu! 1. Dujiangyan Scenic Area The Dujiangyan Scenic Area, located on the main stream of the Minjiang River to the west of Dujiangyan City, was constructed by Li Bing, the governor of Shu County of the Qin State, and his son around 256 BC. It is the most intact ancient water conservancy project in China today. The project consists of the Fish Mouth Levee, the Feisha Weir flood channel, and the Baopingkou water diversion mouth as the three main components, along with subsidiary projects such as the Baizhang Dyke and the Renzi Dyke. It separates the turbulent Minjiang River into the outer river for flood discharge and the inner river for irrigation, turning the western Sichuan Plain into the 'Land of Abundance'. 2. Wuhou Shrine The Wuhou Shrine in Chengdu is a temple dedicated to the heroes of the Shu Han, such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. It was founded in the first year of the Zhaolie Emperor of Shu Han (221 AD) when Liu Bei's Hui Ling was built, and the Han Zhaolie Temple was constructed at the same time. 3. Du Fu Thatched Cottage The former residence of Du Fu, the famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, during his stay in Chengdu. Du Fu lived here for nearly four years, writing hundreds of poems, making it a 'sacred site' in the history of Chinese literature. The current Du Fu Thatched Cottage has been restored multiple times during the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
