Xuanzang Temple

Step into Xuanzang Temple and be transported to Tang Dynasty splendor! Built to honor the legendary monk, this serene complex boasts a seven-tiered pagoda and treasured stone carvings of Great Tang Records on the Western Regions. The sandalwood fragrance in Mahavira Hall mingles with murmured prayers—don't miss drawing a spiritual guidance slip, famed among locals for its wisdom.
