Visit Daci'en Temple in Xi'an with this entry ticket. Explore the temple grounds, admire the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and learn about the temple's role in the spread of Buddhism.
Discover Daci'en Temple, one of China's most influential imperial Buddhist temples and one of Xi'an's most iconic cultural landmarks. Originally built in 648 AD during the Tang Dynasty by Emperor Gaozong in memory of his mother, Empress Zhangsun, the temple later became the residence of the renowned Buddhist monk Xuanzang after his legendary pilgrimage to India.

As you stroll through the peaceful temple grounds, you'll discover magnificent Tang-style architecture, ancient trees, and a tranquil atmosphere that reflects more than 1,300 years of history. Important buildings such as the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, and Xuanzang's Memorial Courtyard showcase traditional Chinese Buddhist architecture while telling the remarkable story of Xuanzang's journey to India, his translation of Buddhist scriptures, and his lasting contribution to Chinese culture and religion.

The temple's most famous landmark is the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, one of the best-known symbols of Xi'an. Constructed in 652 AD under the supervision of Master Xuanzang, the pagoda was originally built to preserve the Buddhist scriptures, relics, and sacred statues he brought back from India. Rising approximately 64 meters (210 feet) with seven stories, it is one of the finest surviving examples of Tang Dynasty brick pagoda architecture. Today, it is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an–Tianshan Corridor, highlighting its outstanding historical and cultural significance.

This ticket includes admission to Daci'en Temple only and does not include entry to the interior of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. However, visitors can admire the pagoda's magnificent exterior from multiple viewpoints within the temple grounds, appreciate its elegant Tang Dynasty design, and capture memorable photographs. The harmonious setting of the ancient temple and towering pagoda creates one of Xi'an's most recognizable and photogenic landscapes, making it a must-visit destination for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone interested in Chinese culture.

After exploring the temple, visitors may continue to the nearby North Square of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, home to one of Asia's largest musical fountain shows, or enjoy a leisurely walk through the famous Great Tang All Day Mall, a lively pedestrian street inspired by the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty. With traditional architecture, cultural performances, local cuisine, and creative souvenir shops, the surrounding area offers an unforgettable blend of history and modern city life.

Whether you are visiting Xi'an for the first time or seeking a deeper understanding of China's Buddhist heritage and Tang Dynasty civilization, Daci'en Temple is an essential cultural destination. Combining centuries of religious history, remarkable architecture, and the legacy of the Silk Road, it offers every visitor an inspiring journey into one of China's most treasured historical sites.
