Chengdu wintersweet quietly blooms

Chengdu's wintersweet has quietly blossomed! The pale yellow flowers cover the branches like delicate yellow jade. A gentle breeze carries a faint fragrance, adding a touch of brightness and vitality to the winter days. While enjoying the wintersweet, you can also visit the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, a literary sanctuary. This was once the residence of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu. The current cottage has been restored multiple times, with pavilions and ancient trees filling the garden. Along the central axis, the Great Hall, Poetry History Hall, and Ministry of Works Shrine are arranged in sequence. To the northeast of the Ministry of Works Shrine are the Shaoling Stele Pavilion and the Thatched Cottage Residence. East of the cottage, in the bonsai garden, there is the "Du Fu Poetry Calligraphy Woodcut Gallery," displaying over a hundred woodcut works of Du Fu's poetry calligraphy. Inside the Great Elegance Hall are large colorful glazed inlaid lacquer murals and sculptures of famous poets from various eras, vividly showcasing Du Fu's life and the development of classical Chinese poetry. Strolling through the cottage, you can enjoy the fragrance of wintersweet and appreciate the profound cultural heritage, gaining a dual enjoyment for body and mind. Come to Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu for a double feast of wintersweet and culture!
