Bedste tid at besøge

Spring (March-April) when plum blossoms, crabapple flowers, and magnolias bloom in the garden, and frogs croak by the lotus pond, is the best time to experience the natural scenery described by poets. On weekday mornings at 9 AM when the garden opens, there are the fewest visitors, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility of the entire garden alone.

Budgettips

Admission is 50 yuan, half price for students and seniors over 60. It is free on International Museum Day (May 18 each year). With a Chengdu annual travel pass, you can enter the garden unlimited times throughout the year.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Over to millioner besøgende kommer årligt til denne stille have tilegnet digterens minde. Haven rummer over 800 par af skriftruller og mere end 150 stensteler, der udgør Kinas mest omfattende stele-samling med Du Fu-tema.

Højdepunkter: I lotusdammen foran stråhuset lever snesevis af skildpadder, der er samlet ind fra det gamle Chengdu. De har boet her i over tyve år, og lokalbefolkningen kalder dem "digterens beskyttere". Hvert år på tredje dag i den tredje månemåned stiller haven skriveredskaber frem, så besøgende kan kopiere Du Fus digte foran stråhuset. Papir og blæk er gratis.

Insidertips

The bluestone path behind the thatched cottage is rarely taken by visitors. The bamboo grove there has particularly good light and shadows for photography, and you can hear the rustling sound of wind blowing through the bamboo leaves.
There is a corridor between the Gongbu Shrine and the Poetry History Hall inside the garden. The painted ceiling tells 12 stories from Du Fu's life. Just look up and you can see them all. Do not miss it.
Going on a rainy day actually adds more atmosphere. Raindrops dripping from the thatched eaves perfectly recreate the scene from Du Fu's poem "Song of the Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind."
The Huanhua Creek Road at the entrance is lined with cherry blossoms. From mid-March to early April, the entire road turns pink when the flowers bloom. Take a walk there after leaving the garden.
