Xuanzang Temple

Serene and charming, Xuanzang Temple keeps a tiny piece of the skull of Monk Xuanzang or Tripitaka (AD 600–664), who is fictionalised in the novel Journey to the West as the India-bound, backpacking companion of the Monkey King and Pigsy. The bone fragment is in a small cauldron on the 2nd floor, watched over by CCTV.
