The Little Wild Goose Pagoda is located on the grounds of the Jianfu Temple. Built 1,300 years ago, it is one of the few Tang Dynasty era pagodas still in existence today. The pagoda has its name because it is so similar in shape and form to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Little Wild Goose Pagoda was originally built to promote fundamental Buddhism, the study and translation of original Buddhist scripture, and to house the precious Buddhist scriptures which were arduously brought to Xi'An all the way from India. Within the temple, there is a large cast iron bell from the Jin Dynasty which is over 800 years old. During the Qing Dynasty, the bell was rung every day in the early hours of the morning. It is known as the famous Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell. At the base of the pagoda are many beautiful stone carvings. Visitors who enjoy folk culture and fine art should absolutely not pass up the opportunity to take a look.
