Daxingshan Temple
Originally named Zunshan Temple, Daxingshan Temple was first built in Jin Dynasty (265–420) and was enlarged in Sui Dynasty (581-618) when the Indian monks translated Buddhist scriptures there. During the Emperor Xuanzong's rule in Tang Dynasty (618-907), the Indian monks Shan Wuwei, Jin Gangzhi, and Bu Kongseng, named "Three Bachelors in Kaiyuan Period" went there to teach Esoteric Buddhism. The temple gradually became one of the three temples in Chang'an for translating Buddhist scriptures, together with Ci'en Temple and Jianfu Temple.
