Located on the same street as us is another pagoda in Xi'an. It's just 3 bus stops away and a lot less tourist than the Big Goose Pagoda. It was built in 707-709 during the Tang Dynasty. The pagoda stood 45 m (147 ft) until the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake. The earthquake shook the pagoda and damaged it so that it now stands at a height of 43 m (141 ft) with fifteen levels of tiers. Its also a Buddhist pagoda like the Big Goose. We really enjoyed our time visiting this one. We went on an absolutely beautiful day, as you can see from the pictures. It stands right next to the Xi'an Museum which we will be visiting on one of these cold polluted winter days.
Yellow found some Terracotta warriors to join.
J'aime les "vieilles pierres", c'est beau!
