Dōngliángtíng

Dongliangting, the Eastern Cool Pavilion, was a Yuan imperial residence southeast of Shangdu. It stood in a landscape of water and grass frequented by birds, fish, and game, providing a resting place for the court's hunting expeditions. Together with a western counterpart at Chagannur, it formed part of the network of palaces and camps around the summer capital. These seasonal journeys preserved an important part of Mongol court life.
