Shengle

Shengle was the early centre of the Tuoba Xianbei, near modern Horinger in Inner Mongolia, China. Tradition says the Tuoba leader Liwei settled there in 258, and it served as a capital of the state of Dai and of the early Northern Wei before the court moved to Pingcheng (Datong) in 398. Its walled site has been excavated.
