Shangjing Huiningfu (English spelling)

Japanese: 上京会寧府 - じょうけいかいねいふ（英語表記）Shàng jīng huì níng fǔ

The site of an early Jin Dynasty capital city in Baicheng, Acheng County, southeast of Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. Emperor Xijong of Jin established the city in 1138 in the center of the Jurchen settlement. It is also called the Shangjing site of Jin. During the old Manchukuo period, the city was explored relatively well by Japanese scholars, but no full-scale excavation has been carried out. It consists of two rectangular earthen castles, one north and one south. The northern castle is long from north to south, with walls stretching over an area of about 1.9 km north to south and 1.5 km east to west, while the southern castle is long from east to west, with walls stretching over an area of about 1.5 km north to south and 2.0 km east to west, forming an L-shape that is long from north to south and short from east to west.
