Walking Guide

Take Subway Line 3/4 to "Dayanta Station" and exit at Entrance C. Walk for 5 minutes to the South Square; for self-driving, navigate to "Dayanta South Square Parking Lot". The central location of Dayanta South Square features a statue of Xuanzang, and taking a side profile shot of the statue during snowfall has a very atmospheric feel.
