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.

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.

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Over two million visitors come each year to this tranquil garden dedicated to the Poet Saint. Inside the garden, more than 800 couplets and over 150 stone tablets form the most concentrated collection of Du Fu-themed calligraphy steles in China.

Istaknuto: In the lotus pond in front of the thatched cottage live dozens of turtles collected from the old city districts of Chengdu. They have been living here for over twenty years, and the locals call them the "Poet Saint's Guardians." Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, the garden sets out the four treasures of the study, allowing visitors to copy Du Fu's poems in front of the thatched cottage, with paper and ink provided free of charge.

Insajderski saveti

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.
