My Journal

Expats in China: be sure to examine the paintings in Summer Palace long corridor. Many are taken from classic literature such as Journey to the West.

Journey to the West - 西游记


Read: English , Chinese

The story is loosely based from the real story of Xuan Zang, a buddhist monk who went on a trip to pick a Buddha scripture in the West (India) in the Tang Dynasty. It's one of my most favorite piece of literature that compelled me to dedicate these sites for it.   

I dedicate new separate pages for it: http://www.daytodayinchina.com/jttws/
