Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Museum and park in Chengdu, China.

Du Fu Thatched Cottage is a 24-hectare park and museum in Qingyang District, Chengdu. Its entrance is a wide single-story wooden hall on three stone steps, with a dark timber facade, latticework panels, four red plaques with gold characters, and a green-tiled roof. Inside are the Hall of Great Poets, the Thatched Hut, and the Gongbu Shrine.

The original house was built in 759 during the Tang Dynasty when the renowned poet settled there. He spent several years at this location creating some of his most celebrated works before his legacy was preserved and expanded as a memorial site in later eras.

Du Fu is called the "Poet Sage"; the cottage's name comes from the thatched hut he built here in 759. The Du Gongbu Memorial Hall keeps Song dynasty woodblock editions of his poems and a foreign-language section of translations. Visitors can also see a reconstructed thatched hut with a study, bedroom and kitchen furnished as in his day.

The park is accessible to visitors on most days and the grounds are easy to explore on foot, with plenty of rest spots scattered under the trees. Good walking shoes are recommended since some paths are uneven and there are many small bridges to cross.

In late 2001, excavations in the northeast corner of the grounds uncovered Tang-dynasty pavilion foundations, household remains and a group of Tang artefacts. The museum built an exhibition hall over the original find spot, and the material supports Du Fu's own descriptions of his surroundings by the Flower Rinsing Creek.
