    Overview

    Xanadu was the summer capital of Kublai Khan's Yuan empire.  It was located 350 kilometres north of Beijing.  The story of Xanadu is revealed that Genghis Khan had the capital of his empire here, hid the massive treasury of the Mongul Empire in the massive underground reservoir that drained the river flowing through the city, creating the "sunless sea" mentioned in Coleridge's poem.  Xanadu was destroyed in 1369, and it was made a World Heritage Site in 2012.  It is a long way to Xandadu from Beijing, and you will enjoy the beauty of the boundless Xilingol Grassland on the way.
