Peking Actually, in Mandarin, bei means north and jing means capital city. Therefore Beijing means "northern capital city". I was on a tour of China last year and this was explained to our group. The information is also in online English-Mandarin dictionaries. www.beijingfanyi.com

The proper English pronunciation is Bay-zhing (where 'zh' has the same sound as the 's' in pleasure).

The proper Chinese pronunciation is Bay-jing (where 'j' has the same sound as the 'j' in jack).
