The Koguryo Royal City Cultural Site is located in Ji'an City, Jilin Province. It is the remains of the Koguryo Dynasty, a slave state. It includes Guonei City, Wandu Mountain City, royal tombs (14) and tombs of dignitaries (26).
The royal city, royal tombs and tombs of dignitaries of Goguryeo mainly include Wunü Mountain City, Guonei City, Wandu Mountain City, 12 royal tombs, 26 tombs of dignitaries, the Monument of King Gwanggaeto and the No. 1 companion tomb of the General Tomb. Guonei City and Wandu Mountain City (originally named Unayan City) were the capitals of Goguryeo in the early and middle periods (1st-5th century AD), and their characteristics were that the plain city and the mountain city were interdependent and served as the capital. Outside Guonei City and Wandu Mountain City, on the Tonggou Plain surrounded by mountains, there are nearly 7,000 tombs from the Goguryeo era - the Donggou Ancient Tombs, which can be called the top of the ancient tombs in Northeast Asia. It not only reflects the historical development process of Goguryeo from different aspects, but also is a precious cultural and artistic treasure house left by Goguryeo to mankind.

Show More ReviewsA great place to learn about the history of Goguryeo, including the Stele of King Gwanggaeto, the Tomb of King Jangsu, and Wandu Mountain Fortress. The 5A-level scenic area has good service, but each attraction is somewhat limited, so you'll finish visiting them quickly.
