Small Wild Goose Pagoda and Xi’an Museum

Beilin, China

The Small Wild Goose Pagoda stands among the grounds of Jianfu Temple, beside Xi’an Museum. Its close-set brick eaves and truncated upper profile offer a striking contrast to the city’s larger pagoda. The combination of historic architecture, trees and museum displays makes this a rewarding stop when you want to slow the pace. Treat the grounds and museum as one visit, check reservation arrangements, and confirm access before assuming that the pagoda itself can be climbed.
