This renowned museum, established between 1983 and 2001, stands as one of China’s earliest and largest state museums with contemporary facilities. Its design, inspired by the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, offers a stunning backdrop for the extensive collection housed within. The museum boasts over 370,000 artifacts, including intricate murals, exquisite paintings, and diverse pottery.

Next, immerse yourself in the historical splendor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, an iconic landmark in Xi’an that epitomizes the city’s rich heritage. This revered Buddhist pagoda, located in southern Xi'an, was originally erected in 652 during the Tang Dynasty. With its initial five-story structure, the pagoda was later expanded in 704 under Empress Wu Zetian, and its façade received further enhancements during the Ming Dynasty. Renowned for its serene beauty and historical significance, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has long attracted visitors from around the world. As a National Key Cultural Relic Preserve, it holds great importance in Buddhism, serving as a repository for the sacred sutras and figurines brought from India by the famous Buddhist monk Xuanzang. Your visit to this majestic pagoda will offer a deep connection to both the architectural elegance and the spiritual legacy it represents.
