Abstract
ABSTRACTXanadu was Kublai Khan’s imperial summer capital during the Yuan dynasty (ad 1271–ad 1368). In this article I show how Xanadu was designed in accordance with feng-shui principles that brought the site into harmony with visible and invisible forces of earth, sky, and water. New data presented here show that one way Xanadu was brought into feng-shui harmony was through multiple celestial alignments.
