The Da Ming Palace, or the Palace of Grand and Bright was built during the Tang dynasty. If it still existed, it would be the biggest palace in the world. A film has been made to capture its grandeur.

The epic film "Da Ming Palace" is the second directorial effort by Jin Tie Mu about a great historical building. The film traces the inception of the palace, its peak years and also its destruction over the course of three hundred years.

It also tells the fate of historical figures such as the female emperor of the Tang dynasty, Wu Ze Tian as well as emperor Tang Ming Huang and his concubine, Yang Guifei. With the help of scores of special techniques, the film tries to recreate the massive palace. The film also tries to depict some main halls of the palace, that until now had only been seen in history books.
