Xingjiao Temple is located in Shaoling Yuan, Chang'an District, 20 kilometers south of Xi'an City. The five-storied Buddhist Relic Pagoda, preserving the relics of Xuanzang , is inside the temple, along with the pagodas of his desciples, Kuiji and Yuance.
Xingjiao Temple was built in AD 669 in order to re-inhume Xuanzang, ans was one of eight famed temples in Fanchuan in Tang Dynasty.
Now the relic pagoda is still the original building of Tang Dynasty. But the temple was burnt to the ground at Tongzhi years in Qing Dynasty. It was rebuilt during the period of the Republic of China.
