DuFu's Cottage and Antique Market

One of Matt's co-workers has a friend in town visiting for a few weeks. I volunteered to take her out one day this week. Venice, Brynn and I began the morning by taxing to DuFu's Cottage, which was the home of a famous poet from the Tang Dynasty. http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/sichuan/chengdu/dufu.htm It was a beautiful morning and the three of us had a good time exploring the grounds.

One of these may or may not be a picture of DuFu's cottage. We had trouble reading the map and the signs were all in Chinese.








We think this was a famous poem, because people were lined up to take pictures. We have no idea what it says.

After DuFu's we made our way down the street to Songxianqia Antique Market. We did a quick stroll through, as we were overwhelmed with all of the vendors and stuff everywhere.
