Du Fu Thatched Cottage 杜甫草堂
The riverside retreat where Du Fu, China's most-loved poet, wrote some of his greatest lines.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is a memorial park on the site where the poet Du Fu lived for four years after fleeing the An Lushan rebellion.
The thatched cottage was rebuilt long after his death, but the garden still follows the riverside setting he described.
