Famen Temple, located in Famen Town, about 10 kilometers north of Fufeng County, Baoji City, was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This "royal temple" of the Tang Dynasty has become a Buddhist holy place admired by the whole country because it houses the "finger bone relics" of the Buddha Sakyamuni, the highest object in the Buddhist world. See all the treasures of Famen Temple As a tourist, if you want to see all the treasures of Famen Temple, you should visit the underground palace in the old Famen Temple, the treasure house, and the Heshi Relics Pagoda in the cultural Attraction, because three "shadow bones" (made of jade according to the shape and size of real bones, which serves the purpose of protecting real bones) are stored in the underground palace; the unearthed treasures of the Tang Dynasty royal family are exhibited in the treasure house; the precious "Buddha's finger (real body) relics" are placed in the Heshi Relics Pagoda on the east side of the cultural Attraction . If you enter the Attraction from the Shanmen Square on the west side of the cultural Attraction , what will appear in front of you is the Buddha Light Avenue, which is about 1 km long. On both sides of the avenue stand ten huge statues of Bodhisattvas shining with golden light. At the end of the east side of the avenue is the Heshi Relics Pagoda. There are sightseeing buses on the avenue. The Buddha's finger bone relics are only open to the public on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month, weekends and major holidays. To the southwest of the cultural Attraction are the Famen Temple and the Treasure House. Under the Zhenshen Pagoda in the temple is the underground palace where the "Buddha's finger relics" were found. Now you can watch three "shadow bones" up close in the underground palace. After coming out of the underground palace, you can also wander around the quiet temple at will. There are bell and drum towers, the Great Hall and the Release Pond in the temple, all of which are typical Tang Dynasty style buildings. Hundreds of treasures are placed in the Treasure House In the nearby Treasure House (also known as the museum), exquisite cultural relics unearthed from the underground palace are exhibited. You can see hundreds of treasures offered by the Tang Dynasty royal family, each of which is amazing. Among them are: the eight-layer treasure box for placing relics, the twelve-ring staff, the pure gold pagoda, the white marble spirit tent, the secret color porcelain, the tea set used by the emperor, etc. Some of these treasures are made of pure gold, and the production process of some treasures has been lost, which reflects the wealth of the Tang Empire at that time.
