Continue west along the lake shore road for about 4.8 kilometers to reach the Xuanzang Temple. Xuanzang was a Tang Dynasty eminent monk. Feeling that the existing translations of Buddhist scriptures at that time had many discrepancies and made it difficult for people to follow, Xuanzang, with the goal to obtain the true meaning of Buddhism, defied the imperial ban, overcame countless difficulties to travel to India to retrieve scriptures. After 17 years, he returned to China with 657 scriptures. He and his disciples translated 75 of them, resulting in a total of 1335 volumes, making significant contributions to the development of Buddhism in China. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese took Xuanzang's skull relics away to Nanjing, and enshrined them in the Jiyuan Temple in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. In 1955, the relics were brought to Taiwan and temporarily placed in the Xuanguang Temple near Sun Moon Lake. In November 1965, after the completion of the Xuanzang Temple, the relics were moved and enshrined there. The Xuanzang Temple is built in the style of the Tang Dynasty, with blue tiles and red pillars, exuding an elegant and simple charm. The temple faces Sun Moon Lake and is backed by Qinglong Mountain. Geographical and feng shui experts consider the temple to occupy a prime site known as "Qinglong Playing with the Pearl," making it an ideal location to enshrine Xuanzang's skull relics. The Xuanzang Memorial Hall opened on March 28, 2014.
