Gungnae City, within the modern city of Ji'an, played the role of a supporting capital after the main Goguryeo capital moved to Pyongyang. Hwando contains many vestiges including a large palace and many tombs. [6] The capital cities of the Goguryeo are an early example of mountain cities later imitated by neighbouring cultures.
The name Goguryeo (Korean: 고구려; Hanja: 高句麗; Korean pronunciation: [ko̞ɡuɾjʌ̹]), which means "high castle", is a combination of Guryeo and the prefix Go (Korean: 고; Hanja: 高; lit. high, big). [37] The name came from Goguryeo-hyeon, a subdivision that was established by the Xuantu Commandery.
The ruins of the city are identified with a site at Yingchengzi (营城子), 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) to the southeast of Haicheng. [3] [4] Ansi was a major city of the Goguryeo and the scene of a major siege and battle between the Goguryeo and Tang dynasty China in 645 CE. [citation needed]

Hwando (Chinese: 丸都; pinyin: Wandu) is a mountain fortress of the ancient Korean [1] kingdom of Goguryeo, built to protect Goguryeo's second capital, Gungnae. It is located in present-day Ji'an city of the province of Jilin, China. The fortress is located 2.5 km west of Ji'an, Jilin province in Northeast China, near the North Korean border.
