my guide was fabulous. I loved how interactive she was and explained both historic names and present names which made it easy to understand. I ended up getting a Chinese guide which I was a bit worried about at first, however she was amazong. if you need a Chinese tour guide I highly recommend 白霜.

Our guide 张娜 (Zhang Na), a Chinese speaking guide, explained a lot of interesting information about the temple and the deities housed within, and also about the life of Xuanzang the monk. Highly recommend exploring the pagoda and temple with a guide to better understand the history.

The Anan tour guide provided detailed explanations, covering the entire park thoroughly, which helped everyone understand the area better. I recommend everyone hire a guide; otherwise, you'll just be passing through and won't understand anything.
