The residence of Kublai Kahn.
Round city and the near by Beihai park were chosen by Kublai Kahn, grand-son of Genghis Kahn and founder of Yuan Dynasty as his residence.

I’ve visited Beijing and the Round city during my trip around the world. Here below you can find the article in which I describe my experience.
