Inside the experience
A temporary home can become a permanent cultural memory.
Why this experience
Du Fu’s Chengdu years connect personal displacement with friendship, landscape, material hardship and attention to ordinary lives.
What the group will explore
Read a small selection of poems alongside the spaces and garden that frame their memory, allowing place and language to illuminate one another.
What you will take away
An emotionally grounded entry into Tang poetry and a deeper understanding of how Chengdu remembers refuge, creativity and care.
Request First. The final host, access, route, language support, timing and price are confirmed only after MIC checks the date, group profile and supplier readiness.
“The aim is not simply to see more. It is to understand what you are seeing — and who is behind it.”
