The residents of Tang dynasty Chang'an made temples into tourist attractions. Possessing works by famous painters and calligraphers and beautiful grounds famous for their plants and flowers, they were places where tourists would congregate, where poets would recite their verse.
唐代長安居民就以寺院道觀作為遊覽場所，既有名家書畫的佈置，又多園林盛景，更多栽名花，常是遊人會集之處，詩人吟詠之所。
