Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage

Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage was once the residence of the poet during his sojourn in Chengdu. In the winter of 759, Du and his family relocated to an ancient temple in west Chengdu to escape from the warfare. In the next spring, he built a dwelling near the Blossom-Bathing Brook under the financial support of his friends and named it Thatched Cottage. Through renovation and expansion in the past millennium, it is now a memorial hall dedicated to the poet Du Fu.

Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum is the largest, best preserved, and most famed among all memorial structures for Du Fu, and also the largest research data center of the poet.
