This is the Chinese poet Du Fu's cottage located in the city of Chengde in Sichuan Province. The park in which it is located is quite beautiful and full of lovely bonsai among other plants. It is this cottage that gives my site its name.Here is one of Du Fu's shorter poems:
On Route from the Capital to Fengxian...
Behind the gates of the wealthy
food lies rotting from waste.
Outside it's the poor who lie frozen to death.
