The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is in the middle of a temple with a small garden where it is possible to take a little rest. The pagoda itself is not much to look at really, but the age and the height of it makes it stand out. But what really make this a nice place to visit is the temple... more

Originally built as a repository for sacred Buddhist texts translated back in 652 by the monk Xuan Zhang who had previously travelled to India the pagoda dominates the Da Ci'en Temple which surrounds it. Outside the temple is the recently constructed Big Goose Pagoda Square which comes alive at night with its amazing dancing fountain show. Check locally to find... more

我是12月份冬天去的,西安是老家,但是是长大后第一次回去,觉得西安还是有很多地方值得一去,大雁塔就是其中之一,不过登大雁塔是单独收费的,里面有舍利子,从塔里的小窗户能看到西安市区的景色,除了大雁塔,所谓登高望远吧.景区内还有一些寺庙,自己的导游都会有介绍.离市区也不远,从火车站有公交车的线路. more

最主要的不是塔本身！大雁塔广场才是看点。广场非常大，更像一个开放公园，从北广场进入首先是喷泉，接着会看到很多的文化广场还有园林，大雁塔四边都是广场，各有各自的特色，就是本地人也不能一天揽尽其胜，另外，周围有很多的餐饮、酒店，食宿很方便。 more

大雁塔是西安市著名的历史文化景点,在其北边新建了大雁塔北广场,设置了据说为亚洲最大的音乐喷泉,晚间8点开始表演,伴随着音乐的节奏,水柱翩翩起舞,婀娜多姿,特别在夏季的夜晚,月朗星稀,和风徐徐,灯影交错,现代的喷泉与背景中古朴的大雁塔相映成趣,堪称古典与现代的结合!值得一看!夏季表演时间和冬季有调整,请事先查询! more

大雁塔很棒，前面的音乐喷泉更是好，我是去年十一去的，修的很是壮观，当音乐响起，喷泉涌出的时候，简直太棒了，总之去西安大雁塔北广场是个不错的选择，即可感受古迹，又可领略新景观，真的不错 more
