Daci'en Temple and The Big Wild Goose Pagoda

Daci'en Temple, located in the southern suburbs of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, is one of the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City, with a history of more than 1,350 years.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the Daci'en Temple, which was built under the auspices of Venerable Xuanzang to preserve the scriptures and Buddhist images brought back to Chang'an from the Celestial Dharma via the Silk Road.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not only the earliest and largest surviving Tang Dynasty four-square pavilion-style brick pagoda, but also pagodas, the architectural form of Buddhist temples in ancient India with the introduction of Buddhism into the Central Plains and into the Chinese culture of the typical evidence.
