大雁塔位于唐长安城晋昌坊（今陕西省西安市南）的大慈恩寺内，又名“慈恩寺塔”。唐永徽三年（652年），玄奘为保存由天竺经丝绸之路带回长安的经卷佛像主持修建了大雁塔，最初五层，后加盖至九层，再后层数和高度又有数次变更，最后固定为所看到的七层塔身，通高64.517米，底层边长25.5米。大雁塔作为现存最早、规模最大的唐代四方楼阁式砖塔，是佛塔这种古印度佛寺的建筑形式随佛教传入中原地区，并融入华夏文化的典型物证，是凝聚了中国古代劳动人民智慧结晶的标志性建筑。2014年6月22日，在卡塔尔多哈召开的联合国教科文组织第38届世界遗产委员会会议上，大雁塔作为中华人民共和国、哈萨克斯坦和吉尔吉斯斯坦三国联合申遗的“丝绸之路：长安-天山廊道的路网”中的一处遗址点成功列入《世界遗产名录》。

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the Da Ci En Temple in Jinchangfang, Chang'an City, Tang Dynasty (now south of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province), also known as the "Ci En Temple Pagoda". In the third year of the Yonghui reign of the Tang Dynasty (652 AD), Xuanzang presided over the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to preserve the scriptures and Buddha statues brought back to Chang'an by the Silk Road from India. Initially, it had five floors, and later it was added to nine floors. The number of floors and height changed several times, and finally it was fixed to the seven story tower body as seen, with a total height of 64.517 meters and a bottom side length of 25.5 meters. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, as the earliest and largest surviving brick pagoda in the Tang Dynasty, is a typical physical evidence of the ancient Indian Buddhist temple's architectural form that was introduced to the Central Plains with Buddhism and integrated into Chinese culture. It is a landmark building that embodies the wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people. On June 22, 2014, at the 38th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Doha, Qatar, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was successfully included in the The World Heritage List as a site in the "Silk Road: the road network of the Chang'an Tianshan Corridor" jointly applied for World Heritage by the People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
