16:40 Drive to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
After getting out of the museum, we will head to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. As a well-preserved ancient building and a holy place for Buddhists, the pagoda built during the Tang Dynasty was once the site for Monk Xuanzang to translate the Buddhist sutras. According to the feedback from our previous guests, it is enough to see the pagoda and the statue of Monk Xuanzang at the south square outside the temple. Therefore, instead of entering the temple to visit the pagoda, we will have a photo stop at the square for half an hour.
