The full name is "Ci 'en Temple Wild Goose Pagoda", which is located in Jionji. It was built in 652 AD. It is said that Master Xuan Zang (Tang Sanzang), the first abbot of Gyangji, personally designed and supervised the production of Sanskrit classics and relics after his return from Tianzhu (now India).
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a pavilion-style brick pagoda with a height of more than 64 meters and a base length of 25 meters. It has seven floors and a square cone. The whole tower adopts ground brick joints, and the brick wall is prismatic, which can obviously divide the wall bay. There are also scenic spots such as Qujiangchi, Xingyuan and Leyuan Scenic Area nearby. In recent years, due to environmental factors, the Xi Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been tilted more than 1 meter. Climb the seventh floor overlooking the downtown area of Xi.
Transportation: Take bus No.5, 19, 2 1 and 6 10 to get there directly. Take a taxi from Bell Tower about 14 yuan.
Second stop: Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square
Come out of Jionji and walk past the newly completed North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
There is the largest music and light fountain in Asia, which is magnificent. If the musical fountain happens to be on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at the beginning, it will be much more comfortable from the top of the tower than crowded in the square. There are also scattered buildings imitating the Tang Dynasty, which are very atmospheric and reminiscent of Chang 'an City in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
When the music fountain is turned on:
Monday to Friday: 12: 00, 20: 00
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays: 10: 00, 12: 00, 14: 00, 16: 00, 18: 00, 20: 00.
Special attention: it is recommended to go at night, where you can watch the largest music and light fountain in Asia.

Transportation: Take bus14,402,239 and get off at the Museum Station. Take a taxi from Shaanxi History Museum to 6 yuan.
Special care:
You can buy rubbings at the stall outside the forest of steles, and the difference between inside and outside the forest of steles is zero. Calligraphy and painting extending outside the forest of steles are not well mounted, ranging from 5- 15 yuan. It's quite cheap, and it's not bad to buy it back as a gift. If the framed one is more cost-effective, the price will be around 30 yuan. It takes 2 hours to mount locally. Fifth stop: Visit Shuyuanmen Ancient Culture Street.
The forest of steles comes out and walks along the city wall, which is the street of Shuyuanmen. There are many shops, all antiques, mainly dealing in antique calligraphy and painting and folk handicrafts. I have been to Guanzhong Academy (free of charge).
