Former Palace of the Emperor

In the year –1,995, Emperor Kang, the leader of the newly arrived Shou people commissioned a palace for the Emperor to reside in. After a year of hurried construction, the palace was completed, and the Emperor moved in. The Palace of the Emperor remained the site of the Imperial Throne and the Imperial Court until –1,475, when the capital city was moved to Sheng Long. Since then, the palace has been used as a center of government for the city’s administrators.
