Sunday, January 1, 2012, 19:29
The Great Wild Goose Pagoda was built at the suggestion of the famous Tang monk, Xuan Zang . He had studied Buddhism in India for many years and brought back 600 volumes of Buddhist scriptures. The pagoda was intended to store these valuable scriptures. It is 64 meters in height with seven stories, entirely built of grey bricks. Its simple and unsophisticated architecture style is impressive and typical of the architecture of the Tang dynasty.
