You can't go into the pagoda. The setting is OK with lots of stalls selling identical tat. The water display is worth the visit. Pretty good in the lunchtime show and I'm told very impressive lights at night.
It is a bus or taxi ride outside the walls and fills an hour or two.

Highly recommend this for Xian visit. We went for the English speaking guide for £3 which was worth it in the main, although we found ourselves locked in a room with a woman trying to sell us Art.

This is a must see if you are Xi'an, China. Visually stunning, lots of history, and fabulous water fountain/park. Pagoda surrounded by large green park with lots of little interesting places to view and rest. The water area is a huge attraction for the locals and a great place to get some wonderful photographs of local children playing.

Although i didn't see the pagoda light show at night, it is supposed to be great.
Went during the day and although pretty busy, some very nice things to see there. Need to walk to the back of the square to enter the pagoda walls, and it costs more to actually go inside the pagoda itself.

After viewing the tombs around the city, end the day at park that houses the Pagoda, a park where the people of Xi'an are gathering to walk, skate, fly kites, etc. A good view of the surrounding city can be had if you climb the steps of the multi-storied pagoda but a picnic lunch nearby could be just as rewarding.

The buildings and their contents are worth seeing and there is still some building/repair work going on which is very interesting to see. Grounds are beautiful and offer a tremendous show of flowers(peonies) at certain times of the year. We were there in April when flowers were in bloom.
Some of the monks who live there can be seen in...

The public area around this Pagoda is a site in itself, with many things to see and do, being western we were stared at a lot, but if we said hello they usually smiled.
