Where is the site of the Yuan Dynasty now located?

Metropolitan site in Yuan Dynasty, the capital of China in Yuan Dynasty. Also known as Kambaluk City. Located in the old city of Beijing and its northern area. It was built in Yuan Shizu in the 4th year of Yuan Dynasty (1267), with Daning Palace in Jin Dynasty (now Qionghua Island in Beihai) as the center, and the main project was completed in Yuan Shizu period. Dadoucheng was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, including the inner city of the old city of Beijing and its north, and it was the largest city in the world at that time. It was founded in the fourth year of Yuan Dynasty (1267) and basically completed in the thirteenth year of Yuan Dynasty (1276).

The plane of Dadoucheng is rectangular, the walls are all rammed, and there are 1 1 gates on all sides, which are composed of outer city, imperial city and Miyagi. The city is 7600 meters long from north to south and 6700 meters long from east to west, with a total area of about 50 square kilometers. The imperial city is located in the south of the outer city, and Miyagi is in the east of the imperial city. The planning and design of the whole city is dominated by the idea of the Han rulers to build the capital, and follows the system of "the former dynasty has a city view, and the left ancestors have a right society". Ruins such as city gates, streets, water culverts, sewers and residential sites were found in the city site, and the unearthed objects were mainly porcelain.
