In history, Xuanzang was threatened by harsh natural conditions, west of Guazhou lay the borderless Gobi desert. He had to traverse this sea of sand on his own. The pursuit of dreams on the Silk Road was paved with setbacks, miseries and even death. However, although he knew his life was in danger, Xuanzang continued his journey. In the autumn of 628 AD, a year after leaving Chang'an, Xuanzang arrived at Gandhara, where the Persian Greek and Indian civilizations merged together. He had recorded many of the country's details in the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions. In the autumn of 631 AD, after four years of traveling, Xuanzang finally arrived at his destination - Nalanda. No one could have dreamed that 1,200 year later his memory would illuminate India's history.
