The origin of Xi Wild Goose Pagoda is related to Master Xuanzang. Master Xuanzang went to Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty. With the dream of studying in the west, he experienced many hardships. It took him three years to reach Tianzhu, where Xuanzang met the Buddhism he wanted to learn, so he stayed in Tianzhu for five years. During that time, he spent almost all his energy on learning knowledge. Five years later, he set foot on his way home. He will return to his hometown after many setbacks. In order to collect the relics and scriptures he brought back, the emperor ordered a tower to be built. This is the origin of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
