Saturday School on Sunday - April 2, 2017 Field Trip to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda Xi'an, as the ancient city Chang'an, was the capital city of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning point of the Silk Road. At one time this great city featured more than one hundred Buddhist temples; however, today there are only two that remain - the Small Wild Goose Pagoda and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Large numbers of distinguished monks studied and translated scriptures at the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. Built in 707AD, it was fifteen stories high but stands only between twelve and thirteen stories today due to several earthquakes in the region. First ride on a city bus Kelly thought the climb to the top was too dangerous and difficult. We conquered the climb!
