Wang ocheonchukguk jeon

Wang ocheonchukguk jeon (pinyin: wǎng wǔ tiānzhú guó chuán; "An account of travel to the five Indian kingdoms"") is a travelogue by Buddhist monk Hyecho, who traveled from Korea to India, in the years 723 - 727/728 CE. Written in Classical Chinese, the lingua franca of East Asia at the time, the work was long thought to be lost. However, a manuscript turned up among the Dunhuang manuscripts during the early 20th century. The five Indian kingdoms in the work's title refer to West, East, North, South and Central India.
