A 2025 provincial report calls Daming the palace of palaces. Today's national archaeological park is read through weathered rammed earth rather than restored halls—a scale you measure by walking long platforms and low ridges. The same provincial culture report that describes life on the Xi'an wall describes this park in the same breath as a Tang memory held in soil.

Rammed earth at Daming
Tang Chang'an's palace of palaces survives as weathered rammed earth in an open park and as one of seven Silk Road World Heritage points in the province.

One of seven Silk Road points
Provincial heritage statistics name three World Heritage properties in Shaanxi and list seven Silk Road points, including the Tang Chang'an Daming Palace site. The inventory sentence also names Weiyang Palace, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Xingjiao Temple Pagoda, Binzhou Great Buddha grotto and Zhang Qian tomb in Chenggu as the other points in that same listing. Daming Palace National Archaeological Park appears among open national archaeological parks.
