This is one of Xian's main landmarks. It was built in 652 A.D. designed and supervised by the temple's first abbot Xuan Zang for keeping the Buddhist Sutras and Buddha's Relics he had brought back with him from his travels in India. The temple complex in which the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located is filled with beautiful gardens and stunning architecture. The temple complex was constructed along an axis, with matching buildings on either side.
The beautiful architecture is constructed of grey brick with glazed roofs. The many gardens hidden among the temple's many courtyards are very lovely and a wonderful place for visitors to take a break. The Forest of Stupas located hidden on one side of the temple complex is where prominent monks are buried. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is over 64 meters high and has 7 stories. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is one of the symbols of Xian and is a must-see for visitors to this ancient city.
