Xuanguang Temple, Buddhist temple near Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan
The temple stands between Sun Lake and Moon Lake, featuring a golden statue of Master Xuanzang and traditional Buddhist architecture at its center.
Built in 1955, the temple houses sacred bone relics of Master Xuanzang, transported from Japan where they were kept during the Sino-Japanese War period.
