Pagoda Nice and Worth Visiting Area
We visited the area to go to a restaurant called Lenbach in Joy City (which is an awesome German option) and walked through the nice park area. The wild goose pagoda itself is not too exciting but it is quite old and significant to Xi'an. The area has many nice restaurant options and the Chinese decor is well thought out. There are many Chinese statues and sculptures with plaques explaining who the people are and why they are significant. Very cool to see and everything fits so well together. Closest metro station is Dayanta.

A World Heritage Site 1,300 year old Buddhist pagoda
The pagoda looks most beautiful when lit at night. The architecture is not as rich and decorative as many, but simplicity can sometimes be more beautiful. On previous visits, I've enjoyed the views from the seventh floor of the seven-story pagoda. There is an additional fee to climb to the upper story.
