Jianfu Temple
Jianfu Temple is a famous Tang dynasty imperial temple which was largely destroyed in the chaos of the late Tang dynasty, leaving only the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda, originally named Jianfu Temple Pagoda, is 43.4 meters tall and 11.38 meters long at its base. It preserves the style and features of the early Tang dynasty. In 1961 it was declared a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level by the State Council. The Tang dynasty astronomer Yi Xing practiced Buddhism at the temple with Śubhakarasiṃha and Vajrabodhi.
