🌟 Step back in time and walk the path of Du Fu, revered as \"the sage of poetry\" during China's Tang Dynasty. Nestled in the heart of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, Du Fu's thatched cottage is a serene escape that has inspired countless visitors with its rich history and tranquil beauty.
In the winter of 759, Du Fu and his family fled the chaos of war, seeking refuge in an old temple on the western side of Chengdu. With the support of friends, he built the humble \"Thatched Cottage\" by the Blossom-Bathing Brook the following spring. Here, Du Fu penned nearly 200 poems, weaving his love for nature and deep reflections into each verse.
Today, centuries later, the thatched cottage stands as a memorial to Du Fu's enduring legacy. Visitors can stroll through the beautifully restored grounds, explore exhibitions detailing his life, and find inspiration in the very spaces where a master poet once found peace.
Whether you're a poetry enthusiast, history buff, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Du Fu's thatched cottage offers a unique glimpse into China's cultural heritage. 🌺✨
