Tour Itinerary


Highlights:

After pick up from your hotel or accomodation, our minivan will transfer you to Wangjiang Bamboo (Tower) Park. Built in 1889 and mirroring the rapidly changing social attitude of the time, the Park is dedicated to Xue Tao, a greatly admired poet/songstress in the Tang dynasty. Exquisite pavilions overlook the dense bamboo groves that has grown to cover the entire estate, with Sichuan-style gardens dotting the landscape like tiny islets in a sea of green.

We will then visit the Wenshu Monastery that attained its fame and current name when an ascetic monk who chose the monastery as the site of his hermitage was believed to be the Manjusri (Wenshu) Boddhisattava incarnate (miracles accompanied his death and cremation). The monastery houses over 500 cultural relics, the oldest dating to the Tang dynasty (618-907AD).

After a relaxing lunch, we will stop at our last destination of the day - Du Fu's Thatched Cottage. One of two most outstanding Tang poets in Chinese literature, Du Fu wrote some 250 poems at the site. The current construction was first built in the northern Song dynasty hundreds of years after the poet's death, and expanded upon to include a vast area of temples, gardens, groves in the succeeding dynasties. The cottage itself has been kept in its simple, rustic original state.
