Jilin | Ji'an, a quiet and low-key World Heritage city
❤Recommended Reason:
Once the capital of Goguryeo a thousand years ago, today's small border town and port on the China-North Korea border, facing North Korea across the river, is one of the three major ports to North Korea in China.
🌟Highlights:
Located at the southernmost tip of Jilin, Ji'an is known as the 'Little Jiangnan of Jilin'. As a border city with World Heritage, Ji'an is truly quiet and low-key.
👍Most Recommended:
Goguryeo established its regime in 37 BC, moved its capital to the inner city of Ji'an in AD 3, relocated to Pyongyang in 427, and was extinguished by the Tang Dynasty in 668. The unique and charming Goguryeo culture created during the existence of Goguryeo is a brilliant chapter in the history of civilization in Northeast Asia.
👍Most Recommended:
The Goguryeo remains within the Ji'an region of China are irreplaceable physical testimonies to that period of history, with unparalleled historical and cultural value.
