Zanmu Temple site
In 399 A.D., a group of four people from the Jin Dynasty monk FA Xian set out from Chang'an and went to India to learn Buddhist scriptures.
History
After two years of arduous trekking, they came to Khotan in 401. With the help of the king of Khotan, Faxian stayed in Khotan for three months, participated in the local annual Buddhist ceremony, and then continued westward. One year later, he finally arrived in India. When he returned to Chang'an, in addition to bringing back a large number of Buddhist classics, FA Xian also wrote a book about the Buddhist kingdom, which records the situation of "zanmu Temple".
Basic information
The temple is located 36 kilometers southwest of Hotan, also known as "kukmarimu" (Persian phonetic translation, meaning "Snake Mountain"). It is said that Islamic practitioners once practiced together with snakes in this place, so it gets its name. There are two layers of caves in the site and three deep pits in the West. There is a Mazha in the back of the mountain, where the soldiers who died in previous battles are buried. Every July and August, Muslims from far and near come here to pay homage.
Transportation: take the shuttle bus from Hotan to Laika Township, and then rent a car from the local area to the scenic spot.
