Xanadu or Shangdu (Chinese: 上都) was the summer capital of Kublai Khan's Mongol Empire, which covered much of Asia. Archeological findings assert that the city was situated in the present-day Inner Mongolia of China.
The capital consisted of the square-shaped "Outer City", "Inner City" and the palace, where Kublai Khan stayed in summer.
The palace is believed to have been half the size of Forbidden City in Beijing (China). -Wikipedia
Popularized also in India at least by Mandrake the magician as his home.
The dictionary meaning of Xanadu is an idyllic beautiful place.
