Yingchang

Yingchang (Chinese: 應昌; pinyin: Yìngchāng) was one of the important cities in the Yuan dynasty.

It was situated on Lake Taal Nor in modern Heshigten Banner, Inner Mongolia, China.

[1] The city of Yingchang was built by the Khongirad Mongols[2] in 1271,[3] the same year that Kublai (Emperor Shizu) established the Yuan dynasty.

This square-walled city incorporated symmetrical elements, wide axial streets from the gates led to an administrative compound in the center north area, emulating the Tang style.

[5] Ayushiridara (Emperor Zhaozong) fled north soon afterwards and later made Karakorum the capital city.
