Xi'an Museum adds a splash of vivid color in early winter

In the grounds of the Xi'an Museum in Xi'an – the capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province – the elegant ginkgo trees are still golden, lending the museum's exterior a rich palette of color and helping to give it the ambience of a secret, serene garden. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an Museum was built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Together with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it is an important symbol of the Chang'an city of the Tang Dynasty that has been preserved to this day. [Photo/IC]
