Xuanguang Temple is only more than ten meters away from Sun Moon Lake. There is a pier under the temple. Tourists can take a boat to the pier and then walk up the steps to visit the temple. During the Second World War, the Japanese obtained the spiritual bones of Master Xuanzang in Nanjing, brought them back to Japan, and enshrined them in the Ci'en Temple in Saitama County, Japan. It was brought to Xuanguan Temple next to Sun Moon Lake in 1956 after multiple negotiations with Japan. When the Xuanzang Temple was built in 1965, the spiritual bones of Master Xuanzang were transferred to Xuanzang Temple. Although the spiritual bones have been transferred to Xuanzang Temple, but due to the convenient waterway transportation, Xuanguang Temple has become a must-visit attraction for tourists visiting Sun Moon Lake. The golden body of Master Xuanzang is enshrined in the temple, with the plaque of "National Master" hanging above it.
