Xian is a quiet popular tourism city among Taiwanese. I will have a Xian tour almost every year. Unfortunately, the majority of Taiwanese do not kown Xian and think it is a remote and undeveloped place.
The general tourists in Xian, it is a must for them to conduct a Terracotta Warriors and Horses tour, and visit the well known Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Huaqing Pool etc. Beyond all question, those are the world famous attractions. However, exactly because of those spotlight, other valueable attractions scattered in Xian are ignored by people, such as Caotang Temple, Xingjiao Temple, Xiangji Temple, Qinglong Temple(Green Dragon Temple) and the Zhaoling Mausoleum...
Actually, those temples will become famous if they locate in any other cities, instead of Xian, which is made up by numerous attractions.. The Great Xingshan Temple is one of them. It is located in the north of the city in Xiaozhai area. It is said the temple was build in the year between Taishi and Taikang at the reign of Emperor Wudi in West Jin Dynasty(265-289).
The Great Xingshan Temple is located about 2.5 km south of in Xi'an. Was built in the years of (AD 265 - AD 289), 1700 years ago, is one of the oldest Buddhist temple in Xi'an.
