Following a massive expansion, the area of Xi Zhongxun's mausoleum has grown from the initial 8 mu to 150 mu, with its architecture and orientation strictly designed according to imperial mausoleum feng shui.
On the third anniversary of Xi Zhongxun's death, his ashes were moved from Babaoshan to a newly built cemetery in the Fuping Pottery Village, Shaanxi, covering an initial area of about 8 mu.
After Xi Zhongxun passed away, his ashes were placed in the columbarium of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing in accordance with sub-national-level standards, without an independent mausoleum being built at the time.
