Tickets for Du Fu Caotang are not very expensive. You can feel it.
Chengdu Du Fu Caotang is located at No.37, Qinghua Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is the former residence of Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty in China, when he lived in Chengdu. Du Fu lived here for nearly four years and wrote more than 24 poems. Wei Zhuang, a poet at the end of the Tang Dynasty, found the site of the thatched cottage and rebuilt it, so that it could be preserved. It was repaired and expanded in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
the thatched cottage covers an area of nearly 3 mu, completely retaining the architectural pattern of the 13th year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (AD 15) and the 16th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (AD 1811). It is a sacred place in the history of China literature with its quaint and elegant architecture and beautiful gardens. Du Fu Memorial Hall was established in 1955 and renamed Chengdu Du Fu Caotang Museum in 1985.
