Following in the footsteps of the Buddhist pilgrim

In 629-645 A.D. a Chinese traveler, a Buddhist monk by the name of Xuan Zang (Sanzoh Houshi), crossed Central Asia on his way to India. It was during this time that diplomatic, trade, cultural and spiritual relations between China and Central Asia were at their peak. This Buddhist pilgrim recorded all this information in his book "Da Tyan Si Yun Tzi" (Notes About Traveling Through the Western Territory During the Rule of the Great Tyan)
