X is for Xanadu
Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, ruled over one fifth of the world's inhabited land area. He was crowned in 1260 and ruled much of southern mongolia, northern and western china. His summer residence called Xanadu, was described by Marco Polo to be filled with beautiful buildings in a fantastic park-like setting. The term Xanadu now is used to decribe an idyllic, beautiful place, like this, the Japanese Garden within the Missouri Botanical Garden.
