King Wu was the first to declare Beijing the capital city in 1057 BC. Subsequently, the city has gone by the names of Ji, Zhongdu, Dadu, and finally Beijing when the Ming Dynasty Emperor ChengZu chose the name in 1421. Before 1949, Beijing was known as Peking by the Western world. After 1949, the city's name returned to Beijing, as it is known today.

Hi Macit, you have a great page with the combination of photos and tips here. thx.
Thank you Macit for bringing back sweet memories abot this wonderful city! Yes, I was surprised like you when saw Beijing instead of Peking as we used to call it in the USSR (in far 1988th), haha!
Certainly the Mongolian People, who ruled most of Asia for a few hundered years had a population of more than 200.000!! And millions of Chinese suffering and being killed while building the Great Wall throough 1500 years is a realistic number.
