Xuanzang Temple

Attractions along Shui Sha Lian Historic Trail

Xuanzang Temple was founded in 1965 at No. 261, Zhongzheng Road, Riyue Village, Yuchi Township, Nantou County. Xuanzang Temple is built along the mountain with two-level foundations.  The lower level is close to the road near the lake. There is a relief sculpture of the "Master Xuanzang's Procession in the Western Regions", and three steles that inscribe "Friendship between Japan and Chinese Buddhism", "Biography of Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty", "Monument of Goodwill and Exchanges between Japan and Chinese Buddhism”. During the Second World War, the Japanese obtained the spiritual bone of Master Xuanzang in Nanjing, and then brought it back to Japan and enshrined it in the Ci'en Temple in Saitama County, Japan. It was brought to Xuanguan Temple in 1956 after multiple negotiations with Japan. When the Xuanzang Temple was built in 1965, the relics of Master Xuanzang were enshrined in the temple for people to look up to.
