It is one of the most famous palaces in the history of China. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Weiyang Palace was included in the Forbidden Garden of Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty. The palace was rebuilt in Tang Wuzong, so many existing relics were left at that time.
Weiyang Palace is square in plane and surrounded by walls. It is 2150m long from east to west and 2,250m wide from north to south, covering an area of about 5 square kilometers. Miyagi has doors all around, standing outside the east and north gates. There are more than 40 buildings in the palace. Among them, the highest is Qian Dian, which is located in the center of the whole palace. The base is 350m long from north to south, 200m wide from east to west, and the highest point is15m.

There is a "complicated road" between temples in case of emergency.
There is an armory between Changle and Weiyang Palace, which is rectangular in plane, 880 meters long from east to west, 322 meters wide from north to south and surrounded by walls. There are seven warehouses in the wall, and each warehouse is divided into four warehouses. There used to be a neatly arranged weapon wooden frame in the room, but now it is rotten. The armory was built by Prime Minister Xiao He in the eighth year of Emperor Gaozu (BC 199). It was the weapons manufacturing and storage center of the country at that time and had a very important position. It was burned in the late Western Han Dynasty.
The other three palaces in the city are the palaces where empresses live. Gui Palace is located in the north of Weiyang Palace, near the Western Wall. Its plane is rectangular, with a length of 1800 m from north to south and a width of 880 m from east to west. Mingguang Palace is in the north of Changle Palace, and the specific location range is unknown. Its main hall site was superimposed by various buildings in later generations, so it was widely called a pavilion. Gong Bei is located in the north of Weiyang Palace, whose exact location is unknown. According to records, the flying pavilion is set between palaces, connected with the ground and invisible to outsiders. In recent years, a large number of building materials, ironware, bronzes, stone tools, tiles, bone markers and coins have been unearthed in various archaeological activities inside and outside Miyagi, which has high historical reference value.

Shanglinyuan is a huge group of royal palaces, located in the west of Chang 'an, which existed in the Qin Dynasty. After the expansion and reconstruction in the third year of Jianyuan (before 138), there were dozens of palaces and other halls with a total length of 100 kilometers. According to the records in Old Instruments of Han Dynasty and Shanglin Fu, all kinds of animals are raised in the park, and "Chang 'an Bashui" is one of them. In addition, there are various institutions such as Kunming Pool for training the water army, greenhouse for growing vegetables, and "Shanglin Sanguan" for casting money. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shanglin Garden was abandoned.
The main building of Shanglinyuan is the Palace, which faces Weiyang Palace across a bend and is connected by a pavilion. Because it is not restricted by the city wall, Miyagi is particularly large and more luxurious than Weiyang Palace. The perimeter of the palace wall 10 kilometers, the main entrance is open in the south, and there are other phoenix que in the door. Outside the North Gate and the East Gate, there are Que, named Beique and Fengque respectively, and the remains of the latter still exist today. Miyagi consists of 36 temples, known as "thousands of households". The main buildings are the Money Palace, Yaodang Palace, Yaoyi Palace, Tian Liang Palace, Chengguang Hall, Qihua Hall, Guchun Palace, Guangzhong Hall, Hande Hall, Shentai, Jinggan Building, etc. In addition, there is a Taiye pool in the north of Gonggong, which rises from a high platform and has three islands: Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang demolished this palace and many nearby palaces in order to build the ancestral temple.
Ganquan Palace is one of the six palaces in the Western Han Dynasty. The other five palaces, Changle, Weiyang, Zhang Jian and Guibei, are all concentrated in Chang 'an. Outside Chang 'an, the most famous is Ganquan Palace. Ganquan Palace, also known as Yunyang Palace, was built because of Guang Lin Palace, the old palace of Qin Dynasty. It is not a palace, but a group of palaces. Scholars say that its actual status is the capital, which is true. This palace group is also a large-scale garden. At that time, it was called "Ganquan Shanglin Garden" in the province (Ganlin was unearthed on the tile) or "Ganquan Garden". The park was built in imitation of Chang 'an Shanglin Garden (formerly Qinyuan Garden), which is not only a summer resort, but also a school hunting enclosure. There is a big lake in the south of Yuannan, which, like Chang 'an, is also called "Kunming Pool". The palace in the garden is mainly composed of Qin Guanglin Palace and Han Yunyang Palace. In addition, there are the Wanshou Palace in Liang Wudi, the Bamboo Palace in Liang Wudi, and the palaces in Gaoguang, Changting, Wang Xian, Qili and Zengcheng, the Immortal (in the palace), Shiguan, Luan Feng, Mangquetai, Dew Cold, Yi Yanshou, Windward, Storage, Crossing the Ridge, Wandering and Wandering. South of Ganquan Garden, near Chunhua County, there used to be Liyuan and Li Tang Palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came here from May to August every year for summer vacation and school hunting, which was similar to Kangxi and Qianlong's summer vacation in Chengde and Mulan's quest for immortality. It's almost time, and hunting is mainly deer hunting. During the summer vacation, the emperor was still here to handle government affairs (such as the number of counties), accept the pilgrimage of governors, especially the affairs of governors, entertain foreign guests, and send envoys to the fortress. For example, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions started here. It was also here that Xuan Di, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, accepted the pilgrimage of Hun Khan and barbarian monarch.
