The Epanggong Palace-site lies west of Xi'an City,opposite to the Qin capital Xianyang with the Weihe River running between them. Exploration revealed the rammed-earth foundation-platform of the anterior hall with a contracted terrace at the northern edge and vestiges of a rammed-earth wall on the southern side. To the south are mixed earth without traces of ramming and road deposits extending northward to the platform. Beyond the southern edge of the platform, remains of a tile-covered building were found to belong to the turn from the Qin to the Han period. It is an important discovery in the exploration of the Epanggong Palace and the archaeology of the Qin period.
