Giant Wild Goose Pagoda

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, located within the Daci'en Temple in the southern suburbs of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, China, is a world-renowned Buddhist architectural and historical cultural landmark of the Tang Dynasty. It is not only an important symbol of the Silk Road, but also the earliest and largest existing brick pagoda in the Tang Dynasty with a square pavilion-style structure in China.

Architectural features：
The tower stands at approximately 64.5 meters in height (originally about 60 meters during the Tang Dynasty), and is a seven-story, square-pyramidal pavilion-style brick tower.
The base of the tower is square, with each level gradually narrowing inward. Each side of each level features brick arches, allowing visitors to ascend and enjoy a distant view.
The tower body adopts the technique of abutted brick joints, which is sturdy and simple, reflecting the majestic and grand architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.
Cultural elements:
On both sides of the south gate at the bottom of the tower are inlaid the "Inscription on the Stele of the Great Tang Dynasty's Three Treasures" and the "Inscription on the Stele of the Great Tang Dynasty's Three Treasures" written by the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Chu Suiliang (with texts written by Li Shimin and Li Zhi), which are exemplary works of Tang Dynasty regular script.
Each tower room houses Buddhist artifacts, including palm-leaf manuscripts and relics brought back by Xuanzang, which were once enshrined there.
