Famen Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Famen Temple is located in Fufeng County, Baoji City. Originally constructed during the late Eastern Han dynasty, it was an imperial temple during the Tang dynasty (618-907) because it housed the holiest of Buddhist items, a finger bone of the Gautama Buddha (Sakyamuni), thereby becoming a holy place revered across the country. Today's Famen Temple comprises two parts: the cluster of old Tang-style architecture (the Famen temple complex and True Relic Pagoda) and the newly built cultural scenic area. The precious true relic of the finger bone of the Gautama Buddha is enshrined in the Namaste Dagoba on the east side of the cultural scenic area.

Famen Temple Photos: Trip Moments
Famen TempleFamen Temple, a Chinese monastery rich in legendary color, has long been a famous Buddhist holy site in China, known as the 'Ancestor of Pagoda Temples in Guanzhong'. For two thousand years, due to the Buddha's bone relics it enshrines and its unique geographical location, it has established an important position in the Chinese Buddhist community. Passing through the mountain gate, I felt as if I had stepped into another world—warm sunlight reflecting off the yellow walls, the sound of chanting around me, the simple architecture and the solemn atmosphere involuntarily make one lay down the busy thoughts of the mundane world, to appreciate the sublimation of the spirit and the purification of the heartEMMALINE POPE
Roaming in the snow at Famen TempleFamen Temple, located in Famen Town, north of Fufeng County, Baoji City, is said to have been established during the Hengling period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Because the Li Tang Dynasty placed the true finger bone relics of Sakyamuni, it became one of the four famous temples, known as the 'ancestor of Guanzhong Tower Temple', and is an ancient site from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty. Now, entering from the south gate, the Bronze Buddha Hall, the Great Buddha Hall, etc., still follow the architectural layout of the Tang Dynasty tower courtyard. The brick tower is octagonal, with a total of 13 levels, which is a later renovation. In the newly opened Famen Temple Cultural Scenic Area, the diamond-shaped tower, when we went, the sky was even darker, with light rain mixed with light snow, so we could only take a blurry photo, which is a bit regrettable.Food Fusion
Famen Temple in Baoji, recommended tour routeFamen Temple in Baoji has two entrances, one is the old entrance at the east gate, and the other is the new entrance at the south gate (new square entrance). It is recommended to enter from the old entrance, because the essence of the scenic spots are near the old gate, including the old Famen Temple, the underground palace, and the museum of unearthed cultural relics are all close to the old gate. After visiting the old temple, the underground palace and the museum, you can reach the newly built Heshi Stupa in about ten minutes by foot, where the Buddha's relics are enshrined and can be viewed from a distance. If you want to take a walk in the newly built Famen Square, you can enter from the new gate, but all the way are newly built Buddha statues, and the journey is very long, walking for more than half an hour, the tour value is not high.Isla_Wild3r

Baoji!!!Baoji is a historic city in Shaanxi Province, China, with many rich cultural heritage and natural landscapes. Here is a description of the experience of playing in Baoji: I came to Baoji, this historical and cultural city, and first went to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Museum, known as the "crown of Eastern sculpture art display". In the museum, I saw a large number of precious Qin Dynasty cultural relics and tomb excavated cultural relics, the most impressive of which was the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor of Qin. These lifelike pottery figurines are masterpieces of ancient Chinese pottery figurine art, which made me deeply feel the brilliance of ancient civilization. Then, I went to another famous scenic spot in Baoji - Famen Temple. Famen Temple is one of the founding places of one of the six sects of Chinese Buddhism, Zen. The Daxiong Hall in the temple preserves a large number of ancient Buddhist cultural relics and artworks. The most famous are the hanging bells and drums and Ming Dynasty murals, which are breathtaking. The quiet atmosphere in the temple made me feel the profound connotation of Zen, which makes people feel peaceful. In Baoji, I also visited the Bronze Museum, which collects a large number of ancient bronzes, showing the brilliant brilliance of ancient Chinese bronze civilization. In the museum, I saw bronzes of various shapes and exquisite craftsmanship, as well as important witnesses to ancient social politics, economy, religion, etc., and deeply felt the glory of ancient Chinese civilization. In addition to historical and cultural sites, Baoji also has many natural landscapes worth visiting. I went to Zhongnan Mountain, which started in the Han Dynasty. This is one of the famous mountains of Chinese Taoist culture. There are quiet ancient roads and winding mountain streams on the mountain, as well as many ancient Taoist temples and temples, which are refreshing. Climbing to the top of the mountain and overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire Baoji city, I felt the greatness and magnificence of nature. In the experience of playing in Baoji, I deeply felt the brilliance of ancient civilization and the tranquility of nature. This city has a rich historical and cultural heritage and natural landscapes, giving people a deep inner experience. Whether it is visiting museums, touring ancient sites, or climbing mountains and wandering in nature, you can feel the unique charm and power of Baoji.JAYSON TOWNSEND

The tour guide Maverick explained the whole process in detail, rich in content, warm service, and thoughtful care; the lunch was delicious, and Master Jin drove smoothly; thank you, and I will find you for the trip in the future.
Today, I went to Xi'an West Line for a day trip. I visited Famen Temple and saw the most magnificent temple. I also ate the vegetarian meal of the temple. The taste was very positive. I went to Qianling in the afternoon and felt the spectacular of the only Queen Wu Zetian Tomb. Worth a visit, by the way, Kobayashi tour guide, good service 😁
A good place worth a visit, the historical royal temples, after thousands of years of wind gods are still there, especially the countless treasures and Buddhas in the earth palace, which are famous in the world. Unfortunately, I couldn't see Sheli, and I must visit it again if I have the opportunity.
Famen Temple is divided into the south gate and the east gate. The south gate is the new gate and the main gate. You can walk all the way to the Heshi Sheli Tower. So that the Bodhisattvas on both sides can worship. When you leave the original road, you can take Jingjiao back to the south gate and ask Didi to Fufeng Bus Terminal. Jingjiao is 15 yuan a way. There is a vegetarian buffet at the south gate for 58 yuan (not recommended), and you can walk to the east gate (the small road on the left hand side of the big pessimistic world music Buddha statue, which is also the door of Laofamen Temple) and take a taxi to Fufeng Bus Terminal. There are two regrets: 1. The old Famen Temple is not open to the outside world, and 2. The part above the Heshi Sheli Tower is not open to the outside world.
A place worth visiting, treasure hall, Heshi Sheli Tower are all worth seeing. The Famen Temple Pagoda under the Land Palace has discovered the world's only Buddha finger Sheli. Every time the first day of the lunar calendar, the fifteenth day and holidays, the Buddha finger Sheli is open for believers and tourists to admire. When the Buddha finger Shelly slowly rose, under the lingering Buddha song, the heart felt washed.
In fact, from the west gate of the cultural scenic spot, I feel more valued, because it is a very pure Buddhism of sacred, solemn, grand and shocking! Everything is very "positive"! This is a different place from other scenic spots, maybe because there are not many people when I go on the day, this feeling is particularly strong, it is not so touristy, it is more like a pilgrimage place! The museum is very awesome! Each of them is a treasure, extremely vivid! It is a pity that the repair can't enter the earth palace for the time being. Overall, it is still particularly worth a visit!
