The Little Wild Goose Pagoda and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda built in the Tang Dynasty are facing away from east to west, and together they have become two important landmarks in Xi'an. However, thousands of years later, they are facing two very different situations. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is undoubtedly the darling of the times, and tourists from all over the world admire it. The music fountain in the North Square, the lighting and night view in the South Square, the cultural background and the integration of commercial elements make the Big Wild Goose Pagoda a must-visit place for tourists to Xi'an. Behind the prosperity, economic development is also driven.

On the other hand, the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is hidden among lush green trees. It is much quieter without visitors like tourists. Over the years, the roads around the Xiaoyan Pagoda have been narrow, residents 'self-built buildings lack scientific design, and living and commercial facilities are seriously inadequate. At the same time, the scenic area is separated from the surrounding planning, and effective linkage development cannot be formed... These incompatibilities are gradually difficult to satisfy the needs of citizens. The living needs have also slowed down the pace of urban construction and development.

The Little Wild Goose Pagoda is integrated with the past and is now stationed in Taikoi to stimulate vitality

In December 2018, after years of deliberation, the comprehensive renovation project of the Xiaoyanta Historical and Cultural Area was fully launched. The comprehensive renovation will build an urban public space that includes the Xiaoyanta ancient building complex, a Tang cultural style display area, an ecological heritage park and commercial service facilities. New pattern. On October 25, Yao Lijun, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee of Xi'an Qujiang New Area, visited Xi'an TV and revealed that the confirmation of the Tai Gu Li project of Xi'an Xiaoyan Pagoda has been finalized and is located in the historical and cultural area of the Xiaoyan Pagoda.

The news that Taikoo Li has officially entered the historical and cultural area of Xi'an's Xiaoyan Pagoda spread like wildfire and attracted the attention of the whole city. In the lively discussions and analysis among many media, it is not difficult to see why this project has attracted so much attention. Taikoi not only sets the tone for the future development of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, but also because this combination with the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is similar to the Chengdu Ocean Taikoi. The model surrounding Daci Temple is very similar. The success of the Ocean Taikoi provides us with a good reference model.

The only large-scale commercial Xi'an Electronics Building in the region is about to be capped

As of now, the house expropriation work in Xiaoyanta area has been basically completed. Walking west along Tiyuchang North Road for about 100 meters, the author came to the construction site and saw that the area planned as Tai Koo Li had basically been demolished and was in ruins. It is understood that the Xi'an Hotel not far away will also be upgraded to better serve tourists from all over the world. Immediately on the east side of Taikoo Li, at the northwest corner of Chang 'an North Road and Stadium North Road, the first new building of Xi'an Electronics Building is being rebuilt on its original site and is being upgraded and planned to become the only large-scale commercial complex in the Xiaoyanta Historical and Cultural Zone. It will be capped in 2020. The main business format of Xi'an Electronics Building is 3C electrical appliances and high-tech electronic products, both wholesale and retail. It also introduces high-quality catering, fitness, cinemas, coffee and other catering, leisure and entertainment projects. The high-rise area of the building (eighth to 19th floors) is planned to be 5a Grade A office building, boutique hotels and apartments. At present, the structure of the three-story underground garage of the building is vaguely visible, and the bottom shop on the side of Chang 'an North Road has been built to six or seven floors. At the sales center of Xi'an Electronics Building, the author met sales manager Li Qian, who had come here at the beginning of the project. She introduced: "Through the antique neighborhood on the north side of the building, you can directly reach Tai Koo Li and Xiaoyan Pagoda Scenic Area. This antique street is also the only way to Tai Koo Li."

The location advantages of Xi'an Electronics Building are self-evident. In the memory of old Xi'an people, Xi'an Electronics Building is a symbol of the times on the central axis. It is connected to the Bell Tower and Nanmen Commercial District in the north, Xiaozhai Commercial District in the south, and overlooking the Xiaoyanta Cultural Square in the west. The Xiaoyanta historical and cultural area where it is located in a prime location in the central area of the city. There are more than 30 commercial complexes within a radius of 5 kilometers. There are also rows of cultural and sports venues such as Xi'an Hotel, Shaanxi Stadium, and Art Museum.

It is a "world-class cultural heritage". The Xiaoyanta historical and cultural area spans the central axes of the two major cities: Zhuque Street and Chang 'an Road, and forms a whole with the Xi'an City Wall, Shaanxi Stadium, and Xi'an Museum. The most important thing is that this area of more than 1,000 acres can be called the "last relic" of Xi'an's central axis core business district. This also doomed that the Little Wild Goose Pagoda should not be confined to the memory of old Xi'an.

Xiaoyan Pagoda Historical and Cultural Area Planning Blueprint

Its influence covers the northwest and radiates to the whole country. It has become another high-profile city business card in Xi'an, bringing immeasurable development momentum to the city.
