29/40.- Xian, Wolong Temple

From the City walls, you have a nice view of the Crouching Tiger Temple. This temple sits in the South part of the city center. Next to this Temple is a great Museum, the Xian Stele Forest Museum.

The name of the Stele Forest comes from the fact that the steles are so numerous that they resemble a forest. In the museum you can visit six large exhibition halls, with manuscripts, tombstones and documents; and a stele pavilion. The original Stele Forest was built during the Song Dynasty (1087) to preserve the Kaichengshijing Stele from the Tang Dynasty.
