The Big Wild Goose Pagoda




On February 5th, Joanne and I took a tour of some to the most historic sites in and around Xi'an. Our first stop was The Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This famous structure was built during the 7th century. It's purpose was to house the Buddihist Sutras that had been brought back from India by the monk Xuan Zang.
