Best to visit in the evening
This is a large area located right next to the wild goose pagoda. the key highlight here is the light and water fountain show. While the show is available on the hour from day to night it is best to catch it in the evening. Set against the backdrop of the wild goose pagoda, the show is pretty spectacular. The water fountains are spread across an area about 600 meters long and 50 meters wide. The fountains literally dance to the music, and the accompanying lights are a sight to watch. The show last for about 15 minutes. Other than The light show the courtyard is also an area where older folks gather to dance and exercise. There are also bronze sculptures portraying life back then spread across the courtyard.

Worth seeing both day and night
Area inside Pagoda was nice, and you can walk up the 6 floors for some nice views. Outside, there is a very modern and nice park, plenty of food options and malls nearby and the water fountain show in the evening plus the illuminations / lighting makes for a special atmosphere. Worth seeing and walked the area both day and night, staying in the Westin which is right next to the Pagoda.

The Musical Fountain is a MUST!
If you are in Xi'an you HAVE to check out the musical fountain located in the square of the Pagoda. It's the largest fountain of its type in Asia and is truly spectacular. Here is the schedule for the fountain's musical show (so you can plan your trip accordingly): Mon-Fri: 12pm and 8:00pm. Sat-Sun: 12:00pm - 10:00pm, every 2 hours. The show will last 30 minutes. I have to give a shoutout to our guide Lily from EmmasTours.com who found this info for us to post. Thanks Lily! :) Another interesting fact she wold us was that it costs the city around 5,000 RMB (roughly $800) in electricity per show! But, I guess they can do that, since they DO own the electric company. ;)
