They give 50% discount to seniors over 60 (even foreigners). It is not a very big place, there are some replica thatched roof cottages, a Tang Dynasty dig site, and many garden areas inside.
nice and quite place from the main street of Chengdu. nothing much to see but its nice to relax and the beautiful garden and old architecture while looking at Du fu's old poem and story.
