For China tourism, what you should see? Du Fu, a very famous poet, lived in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Just as its name implies, the Thatched Cottage of Du Fu was his home more than a thousand years ago. Du Fu was born in Gongyi City, Henan Province in 712. In 746, he took the official examination in Chang'an (now known as Xian) and continued to live there for more than ten years after the failure.?

During Chengdu tours, what is the highlights about the tour? Du Fu is one of China's most flourishing dynasties, began a slide into decline. Seeking refuge from the rebellion war, Du was forced to move to Chengdu. With the aid of friends, he built a thatched cottage by the Flower Bathing Brook and settled here for 4 peaceful years. It was here that he wrote 240 of his 1400 poems. Once, a storm destroyed the roof of the thatched cottage. This led to the writing of one of his masterpieces, "the Song of Autumn Winds Destroying My Cottage". In this poem, he expressed his anxiety for the plight of other poverty-stricken scholars and the desire for shelter for all the poor.

In 2008 the Thatched House Museum of Dufu were nationally recognized as the first-class museums of China with Wuhou Memorial Temple and Guanghan Sanxingdui Ruins. Inside the Dufu museum there are over 30,000 collected works and more than 2,000 relics, including refined copies, photo-offset copies, and handwritten copies in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, stereotype edition in morden times and translated version in 15 languages. The Dufu Thatched House Museum in Chengdu is the site where the works of Dufu are richest and best-preserved. Since the poems of Mast Poet Dufu are widely known, the Dufu Thatched House attracts many people for private China tours.
