Where did the Tang Monk go to get sutras from the West

Q: Where did the Tang Monk go to get sutras from the West

A: The destination of Tang Monk's pilgrimage to the West was India. In ¦…, Monk Tang leads his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, as well as White Dragon Horse, on a journey from Chang 'an, China, to the Buddhist holy places in the West. This "western heaven" geographically refers to India at that time, because in ancient China, India is located in the southwest, so it is called "Western heaven".

Historically, the Tang Master Xuanzang set out for India in 629 AD to retrieve Buddhist scriptures and spread Buddhist teachings. He started from Chang 'an (today's Xi 'an in Shaanxi Province) and walked west along the Silk Road, eventually reaching places such as Nalanda Temple in India.
