jianbing are one, very well-known type of 'bing', especialy found in Beijing and often eaten for breakfast from road side stalls. 'Bing' covers many items we would call pancakes as well as small flat cakes, such as mooncakes 月饼 (yuè bǐng).
More western style cakes are called 糕 (gāo) or gāo 蛋糕 (dàn gāo, literally 'egg cake').
