    Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta)

    This is one of the few remaining Tang Dynasty buildings in Xi'an. The construction of this pagoda during the Tang Dynasty is related to a monk we call Tang Seng (Tang Monk). 1300 years ago, he traveled alone to India, the birthplace of Buddhism, to study Buddhist teachings and brought them back to Xi'an, China. He also dedicated himself to translating Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures into Chinese, allowing more people to learn about Buddhism. In front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is Xi'an's famous tourist attraction, the Tang Paradise, which also features a regularly scheduled musical fountain show.
