Daming Palace, Archaeological site and ruins in Xi'an, China.
The Daming Palace archaeological site extends over 3.2 square kilometers, featuring remains of eleven gates, courtyards, halls, and gardens from the Tang Dynasty.
Built in 634 and completed in 663, the palace complex served as the residence and administrative center for seventeen Tang Dynasty emperors over 240 years.
The palace ruins contain the Three Great Halls - Hanyuan, Xuanzheng, and Zichen - which formed the outer, middle, and inner courts of Tang imperial governance.
Visitors can reach the site via Xi'an Metro Line 2 to Daming Palace West Station or take bus routes 2, 262, 528, 717, and 723.
The excavated foundations reveal a palace complex larger than both the Forbidden City and Palace of Versailles, with dimensions of 2.5 kilometers north-south and 1.5 kilometers east-west.
