汗八里

Etymology
Ultimately from and Turkic Khanbalik, literally “City of the Khan”.

The name was an exonym used by the Mongols and Turks but not by the Chinese as the city was known as in Chinese during the Yuan dynasty. It is therefore not present in ancient texts like the ', nor any of the texts in the '. It is however attested in Feng Chengjun's translation of  published in 1936, as a Chinese translation of the name Khanbalik.

Proper noun

 * 1) Khanbalik, the capital of the Mongolian Yuan dynasty at the site of present-day Beijing
