Small Wild Goose Pagoda
The Small Wild Goose Pagoda, located in Xi'an, Shaanxi, was first built in 707 during the Tang Dynasty to store the Buddhist scriptures and statues brought back by the eminent monk Yijing. This dense-eaved brick pagoda witnessed the spread of Buddhism along the Silk Road, is an important part of the Jianfu Temple, one of the three major scripture translation sites in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty, and is a precious relic of dense-eaved brick pagodas from the Tang Dynasty. It currently has 13 stories and is 43.38 meters high.
