Garden Path

In Du Fu's poem, the verse “The garden path has never been cleared for the visit of a guest” can be found and a guess can be made that there must be a path shaded by flowers and trees leading to the cottage. At the entrance of the Garden Path, stands a screen wall with a handwriting “Thatched Cottage”. It was a former work by Zhou Shanpei in the Qing Dynasty but was ruined and then substituted by his younger brother, Zhou Zhujun. In 1958, Mao Zedong took a photo here as a souvenir, hence this representative tourist attraction.
