Haizi Poetry Museum
海子诗歌陈列馆
A grey-tiled, white-walled courtyard commemorating the poet Haizi, with manuscripts and poems on display. It is a literary pilgrimage site tied to the line “Tonight I am in Delingha.”
The Haizi Poetry Museum opened in 2012 on the banks of the Bayin River in central Delingha. It is a courtyard in the Hui style, with grey tiles and white walls. In 1988 Haizi passed through Delingha and wrote the poem “Diary,” whose line “Sister, tonight I am in Delingha, the night wrapping everything around...” made this Gobi desert town famous. The museum displays Haizi’s life, his poems, facsimiles of his manuscripts and related commentary. The courtyard has a poetry wall and a statue, and visitors often recite poems or write postcards there. Admission is free, and opening hours are confirmed on site. Each summer, activities connected with the Haizi Qinghai Lake Poetry Festival are held.
