Wild Goose Pagoda and park built in 652 originally built with 5 stories and later in 704 rebuilt to its current height. It was the tallest structure in the city for many centuries. The functions of this pagoda were many. Mostly used to hold sutras and figurines of Gautama Buddha brought to China from India by the Buddhist monk, Xuanzang. The park was full of people active in many activities. We were greeted by a Tai Chi 7th level master. He performed one of the ancient forms of Tai Chi. Of course it was not just a demonstration, we all got up and attempted to mirror his movements. Good thing we have no pictures nor video. Only. Still shot with the master. Whew...
