The Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum stands at 37 Caotang Road in Qingyang District, Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China. It is known in Chinese as 杜甫草堂博物馆.
The site is a historic museum commemorating Du Fu, the Tang Dynasty poet. It preserves his former residence and displays his literary works, so a visit is as much about the life and writing of one of China's best-known poets as it is about the buildings themselves.
What a visit offers
- A preserved former residence linked to Du Fu
- Displays devoted to his literary works
- A quiet, historic setting within the city
For readers interested in classical Chinese poetry or in literary heritage, the museum gives a grounded way into Du Fu's world. Those who prefer to combine a visit with the wider city can plan it alongside other sights in Chengdu, since the museum lies in Qingyang District.
