The Epang Palace was a new palace built by the First Emperor of the Qin after he defeated the other six countries. According to the historical record, the Epang Palace was a grand and glorious building. As described by Sima Qian, the Place was built in 212 BC with 693 meters long and 116.5 meters wide. It is said that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu had burst down the Epang Place . So, what we can see today is its ruins, which is now in Xi'an, Shanxi Province. However, some experts hold that the Epang Palace had not been totally completed, and what Xiang Yu had burnt down was another palace.
