Tang Dynasty poet's residence attract visitors(1/5)

Performers dressed in traditional costumes pose for a picture at the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum in Chengdu, Southwest China’s Sichuan province. Located on the banks of the Flower Bathing Brook in western Chengdu, the museum includes a traditional Chinese garden built at the site where the poet Du Fu (AD712-770) of Tang Dynasty, known as "Poet Sage" by later generations, constructed a thatched cottage for his family. There he lived a peaceful life for about four years, writing 240 of his existing 1,400 poems. Today, many cultural events are organized in the museum.[Photo: China News Service/An Yuan]
