Description: Xanadu (here spelled Xandu) on a map of Asia made by Sanson d'Abbeville, geographer of King Louis XIV, dated 1650. This map shows Cambalu and Pequin as different cities, though they were the same place, an error which was common on maps in the 17th century. When this map was made, Xanadu had already been in ruins for three centuries.
