As the capital of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), Handan City (趙邯鄲故城), which is located in the north of Hebei Province, was one of the most prosperous cities of its time. It consists of two parts: The imperial palace city and Dabei City. The imperial palace city was divided between east, north and west cities. The palace, with a symmetrical layout, had primary and secondary constructions.

Located to the northeast of the palace, Dabei City was bigger than the palace city. It was 4,800 meters long from north to south, and 3,200 meters wide from east to west. Workshops, markets and residences were scattered across the city. In addition, it also boasts a large number of cultural relics and historical sites, including the Shuzhuang (dress and make up) Building, and the Black Dragon Cave.
