Big wild Goose Pagoda

 It is the landmark architecture of Xi'an and one of the most famous Buddhist pagodas in China. In A.D.652, Master Xuan Zang, a distinguished translator and great traveler, requested the emperor to build the grand Big Wild Goose Pagoda for storing the Buddhist Scriptures. The pagoda is a seven-storied, 64meters high brick structure. The distinctive feature of the pagoda is that it also adopted Chinese traditional dougong system which is normally applied in wooden structure.
