Huanhuaxi Park
浣花溪公园
A large urban park right next to Du Fu Thatched Cottage. Poetry Avenue features statues and verses of poets from past dynasties, and the lakeshores, Egret Islet and West Sichuan-style woodland landscapes are beautiful.
Huanhuaxi Park lies south of Du Fu Thatched Cottage and is one of the largest urban parks in western Chengdu. Its theme is poetry. Along Poetry Avenue, statues and verses of poets from the Book of Songs to modern times are carved into stone. Attractions in the park include Wanshu Hill, Egret Islet and Canglang Lake, and the open water often attracts egrets. Entry is free. After visiting Du Fu Thatched Cottage, you can walk in through the south gate. Nearby stations are Caotang North Road on Metro Line 4 and Wenhuagong. The Sichuan Museum is also close by, so the two can be combined into a half-day cultural outing.
