Capital Cities and Tombs of the Ancient Koguryo Kingdom last minute China travel deals refer to the early relics of Ancient Koguryo Kingdom distributed with Ji’an city as the centre, including three cities, fourteen emperors’ tombs and twenty-six tombs of aristocrats.

The kingdom commenced in Huanren County, Liaoning province and then moved to Ji’an city, then to Pyongyang. So, Huanren and Koguryo were the hubs of the kingdom’s politics, economy and culture. No wonder travelers can find most of the relics of Koguryo in this area.
