Beijing, as a city, has a long history that predates its establishment as the capital of China. It was officially established as the capital during the Yuan Dynasty when Kublai Khan, the founder of the dynasty, moved the capital from Hangzhou to what is now Beijing in 1271. The city was known as Dadu (or Khanbaliq) at that time. Over the centuries, it continued to grow and develop, becoming a significant political and cultural center.
