The Epang or Efang Palace was a Chinese palace complex built during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China and the founder of the short-lived Qin dynasty. It is located in western Xi’an, Shaanxi. Archaeologists believe that only the front hall was completed before the capital was sacked in 206 BC.
