After lunch, your tour moves to a city historic site - Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This is a Tang-era Buddhist pagoda with a history of over 1400 years. You might have heard about the story Journey to the West in which that the great Buddhism monk Xuan Zang had overcome 81 challenges and finally brought back the Buddhism scriptures from India. Well, this story was told on the basis of an actually person - Xuan Zang except that he didn’t bring any monkey or pig or any other mythological people. This pagoda has collected most of his works from India, together with masterpieces that he translated later. The pagoda itself got repaired again and again in later times and the one you see now endured the last restoration in 1964. Coming here, you will see that the pagoda actually sits inside the Da Ci’en Temple. Nowadays, it is more like a public park that hosts locals singing, dancing, exercising, having dinner, meeting friends, etc..
