Big Goose Pagoda

The Big Goose Pagoda is hard to miss. It stands in a large landscaped park which means that it doesn’t have to compete with other buildings for your attention. At seven large levels, the pagoda has some stature to it. Built in the middle of the 7th century, the pagoda must have been awe-inspiring in it’s day. Heck, it’s awe-inspiring today. The surrounding park is simply a wonderful manifestation of a crew of groundskeepers who obviously like their jobs and are skilled at them. I thing I may have been more taken with the area surrounding the pagoda than with the pagoda itself.
