Nothing of great importance is known about Fa-Hsien in addition to what may be gathered from his own record of his travels.
Little is heard of Kashgar until Fa-Hsien visited it in 400.
Fa-Hsien's original object had been to search for (copies of) the Vinaya.
Fa-Hsien and the others went forward to the kingdom of Tsze-hoh, which it took them twenty-five days to reach.
