"Walk around the pagoda once, and you'll have a lifetime of happiness."

We arrived at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a landmark in Xi'an. Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, it boasts a history of over 1,300 years and stands as the oldest and largest Tang Dynasty square pavilion-style brick pagoda still in existence. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has a total height of 64.517m and features a simple yet grand design. Its body is constructed of blue bricks, each level adorned with exquisite eaves and intricate brackets. It was here that the renowned monk Xuanzang stored the scriptures, Buddha statues, and other treasures he brought back from his pilgrimage to India. Standing at the foot of the pagoda and gazing upwards, one can almost envision Xuanzang translating scriptures and sense the vibrant history of Buddhist cultural exchange. Let's step inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and uncover more historical secrets.
