Description
Dayan Pagoda is a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the grounds of the Jianfu Temple. It is one of China's famous Tang Dynasty cultural relics. The Dayan Pagoda North Square is comprised of a musical waterscape fountain, East Garden, West Garden, and cultural and tourism facilities. Tourists are most attracted to the plaza by the immense musical fountain. Throughout the course of the performance, the fountain’s jets change their shape in an elegant water dance. Once night falls, the lights of the show are especially enchanting. On either side of the plaza, visitors can see all sorts of sculptures reflecting the spirit of Buddhism and Shaanxi’s local customs and folk opera.
