Abstract
The Koguryo Dynasty was a frontier regime that ruled northeast China in ancient times for 705 years (37 BC-668 AD). The Capital Cities and Tombs of the Ancient Koguryo Kingdom, which were inscribed on the World Heritage List, mainly include Wunushan City in Huanren County of Liaoning Province; Wandushan City in Ji'an County of Jilin Province; Guonei City; 39 tombs (12 royal tombs and 27 noble tombs); and the Haotaiwang Stele. People built cities on the hills as well as on the plains (or in the basins) and made the two types of cities mutually dependent. This is the most distinguishing architectural feature of the Capital Cities of the Ancient Koguryo Kingdom.
