This palace belongs to the place where the emperor, his queen and children lived before their death. It is said that the jade emperor has 10000 palaces, and the emperor built 9999 semi-palaces in order not to surpass the gods. The emperor is the body of the sun, so the palace is a mansion in geomantic omen.
