2½ mi. S of downtown.
Built in 652 during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and located in the Da Ci'en Temple complex, this well-preserved ancient pagoda has seven tiers. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda/Dayan Pagoda complex is a holy place for Buddhists and holds a museum of Buddhist materials from India plus a lovely peony garden that blooms in late spring.
