Museum was still a work in progress and not much to see inside. The pagoda was pretty and the walk in the garden/park area is nice, but not much going on. More

During winter the park closes at around 5pm and they stop giving out tickets at around 430pm. So be there early. If you want to go up to the tower, you have to pay an entrance fee. The park is pretty huge. Nice for a picnic. More

Visited Small Goose Pagoda and the surrounding on a rainy day and I must say that the place is even better. Very few tourist are around and you could take your time walking and listening to the chant. The entrance to the place is 50RMB. More

The pagoda and environs are well worth people watching on any day but especially Saturday. Walking to the museum goes through interesting displays then on to the model of old Xian and the collection. More
