It's Xi'an! It's also Chang'an!

Located in the Daci'en Temple in the southern suburbs of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is one of the most famous ancient Buddhist buildings in China. The pagoda was built in the third year of the Yonghui era (652) during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. It was built under the supervision of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang to preserve the Buddhist scriptures and statues he brought back from India. The pagoda was originally five stories high, but after several renovations and reconstructions, it is now a seven-story brick pagoda, about 64.5 meters high. The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is a typical pavilion-style brick pagoda with a square body and arched doors on all four sides of each story. There is a wooden staircase inside the pagoda that leads to the top story. The outer walls of the pagoda are carved with exquisite Buddhist statues and stories, which have high artistic and historical value. The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is not only a symbol of Buddhist culture but also an outstanding representative of ancient Chinese architectural technology and art. The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and the surrounding Daci'en Temple are important historical and cultural sites in Xi'an, attracting many tourists and scholars to visit and study. There is also a statue of Master Xuanzang in the square in front of the pagoda to commemorate this great Buddhist scholar and translator. If you plan to travel to Xi'an, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is definitely a must-see attraction. You can feel the rich historical and cultural atmosphere here and appreciate the unique charm of ancient architecture.
