Xuanzang (Chinese: 玄奘; pinyin: Xuán Zàng; Wade-Giles: Hsüan-tsang, pronounced Shwan-dzang) was a famous Chinese Buddhist monk, scholar, traveler, and translator that brought up the interaction between China and India in the early Tang period.

He became famous for his seventeen year overland trip to India and back, which is recorded in detail in his autobiography and a biography.

He is very famous in India as is Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan traveller.
