Daming Palace Ruins
The Ming Palace was the most splendid palace complex in the world at that time, and its architectural form influenced the construction of palaces in many countries in East Asia at that time. Daming Palace covers an area of 3.2 square kilometers, 4.5 times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is known as the Palace of Thousand Palaces and the Oriental Temple of the Silk Road. In the third year of Qianning (896), Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the Daming Palace was destroyed by war in the late Tang Dynasty. In 1961, the Daming Palace ruins were announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
