Early In the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wen built a capital named Feng on the western bank of the Fenghe River. King Wu built a capital named Hao on the eastern bank of the Fenghe River. These were the first national capital of China and the first of the capitals discovered In the vicinity of Xi’an. This chariot and horse vault Is located to the east of Zhangjiapo. The vault is rectangular in shape, 5.6 meters long running north to south, 3.4 meters wide from east to west, and two meters deep. It is not as deep as a medium-sized burial tomb of that time. It contains two chariorts, six horses and the body of a slave who was buried alive with them. The west Zhou Dynasty horse and chariot vault mirrored, to some extent, the industry and the life of the noblemen at that time.
