The collection spans over a million years and is superior in value, quantity, rank, and species. The guide will provide professional explanations.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta) - Instead of entering the temple to visit the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, there will be a photo stop for half an hour.

Today, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda Area is a popular spot for tourists and locals in Xi’an. It is a wonderful place to enjoy charming night scenes and relax. Around the pagoda, the south square leads to the Great Tang All Day Mall, where visitors can appreciate unique Tang Dynasty-style sculptures and enjoy classical music performances in public.
