The crypt opened in 1987
On 3 April 1987 the Famen crypt reopened with finger-bone relics and seven emperors' offerings, ten kilometres north of Fufeng's seat.
Baoji anchors the western Guanzhong plain, still on the north side of the Qinling, where Shaanxi's geography page groups the central "eight-hundred-li" belt. Its counties reach into the Western Zhou landscape at Zhouyuan and into Tang Buddhism at Famen, both outside the built-up city districts.
