Xuanzang (also known as Hiuen Tsang) was a famous Chinese Buddhist monk who travelled to India in the 7th century CE during the reign of Emperor Harsha. His extensive travelogue, which included observations about the society, religion, and administration of the time, is titled ‘Great Tang Records on the Western Regions’. Descriptions of his journey and findings in various regions of India are often referred to in summaries or selections as ‘Records of the Travels to Middle India’ or similar titles.

Xuanzang’s travel account is one of the most important sources of information for the history of 7th-century India.

Other notable Chinese travellers to ancient India include Faxian (Fa Hien) in the 5th century and Yijing (I-tsing) in the late 7th century. Wang Xuance was a Chinese diplomat who led missions to India in the 7th century.
