Free entry if you show your passport. Nice park surrounding the pagoda and short walk to xian museum. Be aware of the tourist rip offs with calligraphy pictures. Souvenirs cheaper elsewhere.

This pagoda is situated in a park with lots of lovely gardens. Other buildings worth exploring too. Local people playing music, dancing etc.
