What is the English translation of Beijing?

[Edit]

Answer

Peking

Actually, in Mandarin, bei means north and jing means capital city. Therefore Beijing means "northern capital city". I was on a tour of China last year and this was explained to our group. The information is also in online English-Mandarin dictionaries.
