Mejor época para visitar

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.

Consejos para el presupuesto

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.

Acerca de

Datos rápidos: Más de dos millones de visitantes al año llegan a este tranquilo jardín en memoria del poeta santo. En su interior, más de 800 dísticos y más de 150 estelas de piedra conforman la más importante colección de caligrafía en estelas dedicada a Du Fu en toda China.

Destacados: En el estanque de lotos frente a la cabaña de paja viven decenas de tortugas recogidas del casco antiguo de Chengdu. Llevan más de veinte años aquí, y los lugareños las llaman "los guardianes del poeta santo". Cada año, el tercer día del tercer mes lunar, el jardín dispone los cuatro tesoros del estudio para que los visitantes caligrafien versos de Du Fu frente a la cabaña, con papel y tinta completamente gratuitos.

Consejos de expertos

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.
