Small Wild Goose Pagoda, sometimes Little Goose Pagoda (}; }), is one of two significant pagodas in the city of Xi'an, China. The other is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Little Goose Pagoda was built between AD 707 – 709 during the Tang Dynasty by emperor Gaozong. The pagoda stood 45 meters until the Shaanxi Earthquake of 1556. The earthquake shook the pagoda so that it now stands at 43.4 meters high. Indian pilgrims have brought sacred Buddhist writings to the pagoda from India.
