Forest of Steles in Xi’an
The Forest of Steles, lying inside the southern city wall, is the place where there are the largest number of steles of different dynasties. It has now become the Museum of the Stele Forest, housing more than 2,300 famous steles and inscribed memorial tablets of the Han, Wei, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The museum is the largest “stone-book warehouse” and a treasure house of calligraphic art.
