What travelers say:
Huayan Zongzuting-Huayan Temple. It may be that the location is relatively biased. As the Huayan Temple of the Six Great Zutings in Xi'an, it seems a bit down and there are few people! Maybe people who have faith in Buddhism will worship.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Huayan Temple is one of the eight major temples of Fanchuan in the south of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. It is located in Banpo of Shaoling, fifteen kilometers south of Xi'an, and is one of the eight famous Fanchuan temples in the Tang Dynasty. It is the birthplace of Huayan Sect of Chinese Buddhism. Huayan Temple was built in the nineteenth year of Emperor Dezong's reign in Tang Dynasty (803 AD), where monk Du Shun founded Huayan Sect. His disciples were deeply favored by the imperial court and presided over the national Buddhist ceremonies at that time. Therefore, Huayan Temple is a famous temple with a high status in the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, part of the Shao Lingyuan collapsed, and all the temple buildings were destroyed, leaving only two brick pagodas. The east is the pagoda of Zen Master Du Shun, the first ancestor of Huayan Sect, with 7 floors on all sides and a height of about 13 meters. On the west side is the Qingliang Guoshi Pagoda, the fourth ancestor of Huayan Sect, with 5 floors on six sides and 7 meters high. In front of the pagoda, there is also a monument in the late Qing Dynasty "Rebuilding Huayan Sichan Qingliang Guoshi Pagoda". The stele inscribed in the sixth year of Dazhong (852 AD) by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty has been moved to the Forest of Steles in Xi'an for preservation. Huayan Temple is now also used by monks for religious activities. It is a good place to climb high and overlook. Standing in front of Huayan Pagoda, you can overlook Fanchuan and Zhongnan Mountain in the distance.

Huayan Zongzuting-Huayan Temple. It may be that the location is relatively biased. As the Huayan Temple of the Six Great Zutings in Xi'an, it seems a bit down and there are few people! Maybe people who have faith in Buddhism will worship.
The temple is not big. In Chang'an County, Xi'an, built on the mountain, it is Huayan Zongzuting. Although the popularity is not very strong, it has a mysterious, solemn and quiet feeling. It is still worth a visit.
Huayan Temple is located in Shaolingyuan, Chang'an District, Xi'an. It is the ancestral court of Huayan Zong, one of the eight Buddhist ancestrals. Huayan Temple is built on the mountain, because of the steep terrain, unlike the monasteries that are symmetrical with traditional axes. The mountain gate is built on the west side of the monasteries that are generally parallel to the monasteries.
The ancestral court of Huayan ancestor in Huayan Temple has to visit it from time to time. You can see the sign at the foot of the mountain by car. There's a mountain road next to it. It's wider. Go up the road for a while. It rained the previous day, and landslides seemed to have happened on the side of the mountain. Fortunately, the road is not muddy. About halfway up the hill. A fellow countryman pointed out a Panshan trail, which is a shortcut. There are jujube thorns beside it. Be careful. No problem. There will be steps soon. There are doors. Enter, found that the repair is under way, many workers are working. There are Buddha statues at the gate of the temple and Bodhisattva statues in the ground. Inside, there are two towers in turn, one with a base, which can go up to the platform and circle the tower. Then there is a platform inside, which can be overlooked. Inside there are palaces, living rooms, Chateau and so on. See the magic weapon to connect with all living beings. Although the palaces are small, they are pure, solemn and full of dignity. And the Dharma-keepers are still working hard to clean up. Perhaps in the mountains, there are not many visitors. Fortunately, incense is constantly burning, and piety, good faith around the tower, with joy and praise. Unlike other monasteries, the first one is the Seeing Tower, and then the Palace. The monastery is being renovated. We hope that it will be renovated better and reproduce the splendor of Huayan ancestral courtyard.
Huayan Zongzuting got off at 917 Road in the TV Tower and got off at Chang'an Normal School according to the roadside signs. On the Shaoling Plateau, because of the collapse and landslide of the Ming Dynasty, there are only two masonry towers of the first group and four groups of national teachers left in the temple. The monastery is being built and visitors can enter and leave at will. Two brick towers, one is pavilion type and the other is eaves type, are precious preservation of ancient architecture.
In mid-January, Xi'an's air quality was not very good. It was still on the itinerary to Huayan Temple on Shaoling Temple. Now Huayan Temple is repaired in a narrow and open ground about 400 meters long and 60 meters wide on the half slope of Shaoling Temple. It is limited to the narrow and long geography. The temple gate is opened north. The buildings are arranged from north to south. It is recorded that there were Dongge Fatang, Huisheng Temple and the first ancestor Du Shun Mage Ling Pagoda, the second ancestor Zhixuan Mage Ling Pagoda, the third ancestor Xianshou Mage Ling Pagoda, the fourth ancestor Chengguan Mage Ling Pagoda, the fifth ancestor Mi Mage Ling Pagoda and the true tower in Guhuayan Temple. But for various reasons and encounter many landslides, it gradually fell. The most damaging was a large collapse during the Qing Qianlong period, which destroyed the temples and the ancient towers. The new temples and pagodas are slightly ancient. Highlights: Xi'an area has a few Tang Towers, the weather can overlook the Zhongnan Mountain
