Daytime is Xi'an, and night is Chang'an. Check-in at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Bell Tower. Only after taking pictures of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Bell Tower can you say you've been to Xi'an~ About the Big Wild Goose Pagoda "The sun palace opens ten thousand ren, the moon palace rises a thousand xun." is Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's description of the grandeur, height and magnificence of the Da Ci'en Temple in the poem "Visiting the Da Ci'en Temple", comparing it to the sun palace and the moon palace. After thousands of years of ups and downs, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda silently witnessed the process of Buddhism's eastward transmission and sinicization. Under the protection of Chinese people throughout the ages, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the many Buddhist scriptures translated by Master Xuanzang have been preserved. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a symbol of the ancient capital Xi'an and a precious cultural heritage of the world.
