NOTE 1.–The French texts read _Clemeinfu_, Ramusio _Clemenfu_. The Pucci
MS. guides us to the correct reading, having _Chemensu_ (_Kemensu_) for
_Chemenfu_. KAIPINGFU, meaning something like ‘City of Peace,’ and called
by Rashiduddin _Kaiminfu_ (whereby we see that Polo as usual adopted the
Persian form of the name), was a city founded in 1256, four years before
Kublai”s accession, some distance to the north of the Chinese wall. It
became Kublai”s favourite summer residence, and was styled from 1264
_Shangtu_ or ‘Upper Court.’ (See infra, Bk. I. ch. lxi.) It was known to
the Mongols, apparently by a combination of the two names, as _Shangdu
Keibung_. It appears in D”Anville”s map under the name of _Djao-Naiman
Sum_. Dr. Bushell, who visited Shangtu in 1872, makes it 1103 _li_ (367
miles) by road distance vi?Kalgan from Peking. The busy town of Dolonnr
lies 26 miles S.E. of it, and according to Kiepert”s _Asia_ that place is
about 180 miles in a direct line north of Peking.
