Xi'an_ Snowflakes fluttering Dayan Tower

👉 Daci'en Temple is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Tang Chang'an City, built by the imperial decree of the Li Tang royal family.🫅 In the 22nd year of Tang Taizong's Zhenguan reign (648 AD), Crown Prince Li Zhi created Ci'en Temple in memory of his mother, Empress Wendehuang Changsun.👩‍🦲 Xuanzang presided over the temple affairs here, and the Dayan Tower in Daci'en Temple was personally supervised by Xuanzang🔨, so Daci'en Temple has a very prominent position in the history of Chinese Buddhism and has always been valued by the Buddhist circles at home and abroad.👏🏻 ‼️To climb the tower, you must first enter Ci'en Temple (Ci'en Temple ticket 40, climb the tower 25) ⚠️Students with full-time undergraduate and below half price, 65-year-old elderly, active military personnel, disabled persons with certificates are free, 1.2 meters or 6 years old and below are free 🚩Opening hours: 8:30-17:30 (stop selling tickets 16:50) 📍Address: Inside Daci'en Temple, No. 11, South Section of Yanta Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province 🙋‍♀️Explanation: On the right hand side of the entrance to the scenic area 🚗Transportation: 🚇Metro Line 3 or Line 4 Dayan Tower Station, exit from D northeast exit, walk 800 meters 🚌Bus 606, 601, 609 to Yanta West Road East Exit Station, walk 200 meters 👉On both sides of the south gate of the tower base are the steles of 'Datang Sanzang Shengjiao Xu' and 'Datang Sanzang Shengjiao Xu Ji' written by the great calligrapher Chu Suiliang, which were erected here by Xuanzang during the reign of Tang Gaozong and are still well preserved to this day. 👉It is worth mentioning that Tang Dynasty painters Wu Daozi, Wang Wei and others have made many murals for Ci'en Temple, but unfortunately they have been lost in history.
