The Big Wild Goose Pagoda

The article that I read is about the protection of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Nowadays, many historic sites are more or less destroied, like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The article introduces the status of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and ^through this article we need to pay more attention to protect it.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is valuable to the research of Tang Dynasty religion, architecture, carving, painting and so on. So it must be protected. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda lies in the Shannxi province of China. It was built in 652 during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. It is 64.5 meters high with seven storeies. It looks ^like square cone and it is a famous construction of Buddhism. It is made of brick,its structure is very firm. However, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been destroied by people and nature. Because its drain is not good and groundwater around pagoda was exploited too much, the pagoda has already tilted. Those reasons may cause pagoda rapid susidence and tilt. So the key is protect the environment around ^the pagoda. The government has introduced a series of protective. And the number of visitors is restricted every day. Through various protection, tilt of pagoda has already mitigated.
