The Museum of Xuanzang's Pilgrimage tells the story of the 7th-century Buddhist monk who travelled from China to India and returned with scriptures that reshaped Chinese Buddhism. His journey later became one of the main inspirations for Journey to the West.
For travellers crossing the Hexi Corridor, the museum gives useful context for Guazhou's Silk Road setting. It is a good companion to the region's Buddhist cave sites and desert ruins, especially if you are already visiting Suoyang City or the Yulin Caves.
