Epang Palace, Archaeological site in Weiyang District, China

The ruins extend over 544,000 square meters with foundations measuring 1,320 meters from east to west and 420 meters from north to south.

Construction of this imperial complex started in 212 BCE under Emperor Qin Shi Huang but remained incomplete when the Qin dynasty fell in 206 BCE.

The palace layout incorporated specific architectural elements reflecting the centralized power structure and sophistication of the Qin dynasty period.

The archaeological site features renewed walkways and exhibitions using digital technology to present historical information to visitors.

The palace foundations included twelve bronze statues weighing 70 tons each, commissioned by Emperor Qin Shi Huang as symbols of imperial authority.
