Rising majestically in Xi’an, the 1,300-year-old Giant Wild Goose Pagoda stands as a testament to both spiritual devotion and architectural genius. Built under the guidance of monk Xuanzang (yes, the real-life inspiration for Journey to the West! ), this Tang Dynasty marvel was designed to safeguard Buddhist scriptures brought from ancient India.

This seven-story tower showcases China’s first-known use of fire-resistant brick imitation wood – think ancient 3D architectural printing! Each level narrows slightly upward, creating an optical illusion of even greater height. Inside? A treasure trove of sutras, statues, and carvings revealing Buddhism’s journey along the Silk Road.
More Than a Relic
Today, the pagoda buzzes with new life: • A digital exhibition unlocks its secrets through AR technology • Nightly light shows blend history with holograms • Global scholars collaborate on preservation tech
