Gungnae
Gungnae was the second capital of the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo, at modern Ji'an on the middle Yalu river in Jilin, China. Tradition dates the move there to 3 CE, and it remained the royal centre until King Jangsu moved the capital to Pyongyang in 427. Its walls, royal tombs and the stele of Gwanggaeto the Great are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
