The Small Wild Goose Pagoda is located on the central axis of the Jianfu Temple in southern Xi'an. It is one of the two famous and important Buddhist pagodas erected in the Tang Dynasty about 1300 years ago. Jianfu Temple was first built in 684 AD in honor of the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Lizhi (named Gaozong on his accession), on the hundredth day after his death. [Photo/CFP]
