You get off a round lake boat at Xuan Guang Pier and walk 5 minutes, then you can reach this temple. The majority of tourists just visit this temple. But if you are fit, you can walk another 20 minutes on a hiking path to Xuan Zhuang Temple.

My girlfriend and I visited this temple by taking the boat, and once we got off, we saw many tourists and of course the famous tea egg.
There were two temples there, one was under renovation, and the other was filled with visitors, so we just took some photos outside and left for the Xuanzang Temple, which is about a 10 minute walk away.
Overall, this temple guards the other temple, 玄光寺 meaning that the light of 玄奘 or Venerable Master XuanZang.
He has translated many sutras from Sanskrit in the Tang Dynasty, his story was eventually turned into the novel "The Journey to the West," and recently turned into a movie called 大唐西域記.
