Discover Giant Wild Goose Pagoda Temple Xi'an China

If you visit Xi’an, this is one of the places you should visit to see the ancient Indian civilization there. The Royal Buddhism temple of Xi’an. The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda located in the southern part of Xian, China. It is a popular tourist destination and is known for its unique and intricate design. I visited it on Chinese new year’s eve, and it was free but on most days it cost 40 yuan to enter if you are a student and have your own student ID you can get a 50% discount.

The pagoda itself was built in the Tang dynasty and survived earthquakes as you can see it tilts towards the west. Don’t forget also the bronze statue of Xuanzang 玄奘, the main character in the 16th-century classic novel "Journey to the West. There are real toilets in some of the bathrooms.

The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is a popular tourist attraction in Xi’an for several reasons. One reason is its historical significance. The pagoda was built in the 7th century during the Tang dynasty and is considered an important architectural and cultural relic from that time period.

Additionally, the pagoda’s association with the monk and translator Xuanzang, who brought Buddhist texts and statues to China, makes it an important site for those interested in Buddhism and the history of Chinese Buddhism.

Looks like an amazing historical place to visit @Mo_TravelleerX , great photos. Although it might be due to the order of your photos but, am I right to assume that you were there all night, I mean I can see both day and night photos? Also, from your name I am assuming that you are not Chinese so given that this is China and given the nature of this POI, is photography permitted?

@AdamGT yeah, the bronze statue of Xuanzang 玄奘 it’s not inside the temple itself but it’s outside in the main park (Dyanta Park it’s about 4 Km long ), Photography is not permitted in china as I have seen many Chinese people recording videos normally in temples and Parks.

@NunungAfuah Thanks for stopping by, yeah I speak some Chinese since I am studying MS in Xi’an ( in the past it was the capital city of China that’s why it’s so old and rich in culture ) but it’s ok everything here is digital with apps and especially Baidu translator which helps a lot when you want to translate by speaking which is much faster than typing and more accurate.

@Gezendunyali Thanks for your comment, Yeah it might be difficult for some people but china is welcoming foreigners from all over the world, so it’s normal to see tourists everywhere photographing especially in old cities with temples and Parks.
