Small Wild Goose pagoda was built in 707-709. It was so called because of its proximity to the Big Wild Goose pagoda. Originally the pagoda looked like a building with a multi-layered roof, 15 floors and a height of about 45 meters. But after a strong earthquake occurred in 1556, at the building collapsed two floors, as well as a crack from the top of the pagoda to the bottom.
After the earthquake, the pagoda was repaired, the crack slipped, but to restore two ruined floors. Since then, a 13-storey pagoda still suffered from natural disasters, but nevertheless pagoda looks very dignified. Inside the building is a wide staircase that allows you to climb to the top of the pagoda.
