Located in Xi'an, the ancient capital of Shaanxi Province, China, this building is a symbol of the grounds of the Da Ci'en Temple. The Da Ci'en Temple was restored and rebuilt in 647 by the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozong, who welcomed the monk Xuanzang ( Triple Treasure Priest), who brought back many Buddhist scriptures from India. Xuanzang suggested the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to preserve the Buddhist scriptures. Originally a five-storey pagoda, it has since been renovated and is now seven stories tall, 64 meters high. The foundations and lower part of the pagoda have remained the same since its construction.

中国の陜西(せんせい)省の古都、西安(せいあん)(シーアン)にあり、大慈恩寺の境内にあるシンボルともいうべき建物。大慈恩寺は、唐三代皇帝の高宗が647年に旧寺を修復復興したもので、そのころインドから多くの仏典を持ち帰った僧玄奘三蔵(げんじょうさんぞう)(三蔵法師)を迎えた。玄奘三蔵は仏典を保存するために大雁塔の建立を進言した。当初は5層の塔だったが、その後、改修を続け、現在は7層で、高さは64m。塔の基礎と下層部分は、創建以来のままである。
