You will first visit the Shaanxi History Museum to have an overview of the thousands of years of Chinese history and the splendid ancient culture. The museum is regarded as “the pearl of ancient dynasties and the house of Chinese treasures”. It was built in 1983 and was opened to the pubic on June 20, 1991. Covering an area of 65,000 square meters, the museum is China’s first large-scale modern national museum. Then follow your tour guide to explore the Big Wild Goose Pagoda standing in the Da Ci'en Temple complex. Originally built in 652AD during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was used to keep the Buddhist materials that were taken from India by the hierarch Xuanzang. Now you may see many entertainment and relaxation facilities at the neighbourhood of the Da Ci’en Temple.
