Daming Palace National Heritage Park is really huge , it takes around 20 minutes walk from the car park of the first gate of Daming Palace, Danfeng Gate (丹鳳門).
On 1 October 2010, the Daming Palace National Heritage Park was opened to the public, two third of the park is entrance free.
There are several exhibition halls located throughout the park, showcase the excavated cultural relics of the site.
