"A historic Buddhist site founded in the 7th century that is famed for housing more than 10,000 stone tablets—known as the Stone Canon of Fangshan—on which sutras were carved and which were discovered in nearby sealed caves in 1957. The collection includes authoritative scripture versions and translations associated with the 7th-century scholar-monk Xuanzang, and visitors often make rubbings by tamping colour onto wetted paper pressed to the stones. The temple’s combination of ancient textual importance and living devotional practice makes it a unique destination for those interested in Buddhist history and material culture." - Peter Neville-Hadley
