After Faxian, an increasing number of pilgrims went to India. This reached a peak during the Tang Dynasty. According to the *Buddhist Monk’s Pilgrimage of the Tang Dynasty* by Yi Jing, from 641 to 691 CE, more than 40 Chinese monks travelled to India. This did not include others such as the famous Xuanzang, Hui Ri, Han Guang, Wu Kong and Zhi Xuan.
