Where is Xi 'an Muta Temple Ruins Park located?

Xi Muta Temple Ruins Park is a cultural tourist attraction.

Mutamiao Ruins Park is located in Science and Technology Sixth Road, Xi High-tech Zone, bordering Science and Technology Eighth Road in the south, Tang Yan Road in the west and Taibai South Road in the east. The park covers an area of 67,800 square meters, including 55,000 square meters of greening, 6,543,800 square meters of hard pavement and 5,020 square meters of water area. Surrounded by the road network, the park is the concentration of six arteries in the high-tech zone. The remaining sites in the park include the site of Daxiong Hall and Shanmen Site, two ancient locust trees planted on the left and right sides of the temple site, and a cave-like building carved with blue bricks at the northern end of the temple site. There is a wooden pagoda site in the east-west direction, which was the seat of Zongzhimu Pagoda and solemn temple, but the wooden pagoda no longer exists.

Muta Temple, a famous temple in Chang 'an City in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Founded in 603 AD, it was built by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty for Queen Dugu, formerly known as Zen Temple. In 6 18, it was renamed Zhuang Yan Temple. Located in the east half of Yongyang Square in the southwest corner of Chang 'an, it is adjacent to Dazong Temple in the west half of the square. The two temples have the same organizational system and huge scale, each with a seven-story wooden tower with the same regulations, which is 330 feet (about 97 meters) high and has a circumference of 120 steps (about 176 meters), which is magnificent.

Because these two temples have always been in a very prominent position among many Buddhist temples in Chang 'an City, and their incense is grand, they were explicitly protected from burning in the Tang Wuzong Buddhist Movement in the fifth year of Huichang (845). In 852, Zhuang Yan Temple was renamed Shengshou Temple. In 907, the Tang Dynasty perished, and Chang 'an was severely damaged at the same time. Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties repaired it many times, but it was destroyed at the end of Ming Dynasty, leaving only the wooden tower. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, it was restored twice and renamed Muta Temple. Until the eve of the founding of New China, the temple was repeatedly destroyed by man and nature, and the buildings and wooden pagodas in the temple were gone. At present, there are only a few remains, such as the mountain gate, the East-West Hall and the Fathom Hall, which were built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
