His Capital city :Balasagun
Balasagun (Balassagun, Balasaghun, Karabalsagun; Chinese: 八剌沙衮; pinyin: bālàshāgǔn, Persian: بلاساغون) was an ancient Soghdian city in modern-day Kyrgyzstan, located in the Chui River valley between Bishkek and Lake Issyk-Kul.
Balasagun was founded by Soghdians, a people of Iranian origin and the Soghdian language was still in use in this town till the 11th century.
It was the capital of the Kara-Khitan Khanate from the 10th Century until the Mongols captured it in 1218. The Mongols called it Gobalik ("pretty city"). It should not be confused with the city of Karabalghasun in Mongolia which was the capital of the Uyghur Khaganate.
Founded by the Kara-Khanid Khanate in the 9th century, Balasagun soon supplanted Suyab as the main political and economical centre of the Chui Valley; its prosperity declined after the Mongol conquest. The poet Yusuf Has Hajib, known for writing the Kutadgu Bilig, is thought to have been born in Balasagun in the 11th century. The city also had a sizable
Christian (Nestorian) population; one graveyard was still in use in the 1300s.Since the 14th century, Balasagun is a village with plenty of ruins, 12 km southeast of Tokmok.
