Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, officially known as the Ci'en Temple Pagoda, is located within the Da Ci'en Temple in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China. This magnificent seven-story square brick pagoda was first built in the Tang Dynasty under the supervision of the famous monk Xuanzang to store the Buddhist scriptures and statues he brought back from India. As one of the symbolic buildings of the ancient capital Chang'an, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is not only a model of ancient Chinese pavilion-style pagodas but also a grand testament to cultural exchange between China and other countries, reflecting the glorious achievements of Buddhist architecture in the Tang Dynasty.
