Famen Temple, Buddhist temple in Fufeng County, China

Located 120 kilometers west of Xian, the Famen Temple complex spans 86,667 square meters and includes the temple, museum, and Heshi Dagoba.

The temple's construction dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty in 220 AD and reached its highest influence during the Tang Dynasty between 618 and 907.

Eight Tang Dynasty emperors performed ceremonial visits to the temple, bringing offerings and retrieving sariras for consecration in their palaces.

The temple operates daily from 8:00 to 18:00, with an entrance fee of 120 Yuan, and visitors can reach it by shuttle buses from Tang Paradise in Xian.

The underground palace, discovered in 1987, contained over 900 artifacts including gold items, silver wares, pearls, jade pieces, and precious Buddhist relics.
