Khumbalik nem más, mint Peking régi török neve: "Khanbaliq or Dadu (also Ta-Tu or Daidu) was a former name for Beijing ... It is known as Khanbaliq (汗八里), also spelled as Khanbalikh in Turkic languages, meaning 'Great residence of the Khan', and Marco Polo wrote of it as Cambaluc, Cambuluc, or Kanbalu."
