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.

The brick tower is octagonal, with a total of 13 levels, which is a later renovation.

Famen 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).

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.
