Big Wild Goose Pagoda Fountain, China
From series “The Most Spectacular Fountains in the World”
In Xi'an, next to the Great Pagoda of the Wild Geese, is the largest fountain in Asia, with an area of 16.8 hectares. The giant light and music spring fountain looks beautiful on the background of the striking historical sights. The music field of the fountains attracts tens of thousands of tourists annually. The Buddhists consider these places to be one of the holiest in the world.
The nozzles of the fountain were installed in the asphalt surface of the square. Thanks to the music, the water and the light, the place literally rises every evening at nightfall, turning into one of the most magical places on earth. Because of its proximity to the thousand-year-old pagoda and nightly light and music shows, the square remains very animated both day and night.
