Initially built in 589AD, it is still today a functioning Buddist Monastery.

According to historical records, the monks living in the Da Ci'en Temple had no meat to eat. They longed much for it, so one of the monks started to pray to the Gods to bless them. At that very moment, a group of wild geese flew over the temple. Their heads dropped to the ground and they died. The monks were all surprised and thought it was the result of the Buddhist spirit so they decided not to eat meat forever. A pagoda was ordered to be built in this place, hence the name "Big Wild Goose Pagoda".
