The Site of Aodong City in Dunhua
      Aodong City is located in the southeastern part of Dunhua city proper, about 500 meters south of the Mudan River, and is a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit of Jilin Province.

      Aodong City, also called Huhanguo City, Edori City, Akekedun City, or Edori City, was an early capital of the Bohai Kingdom. The original appearance of Aodong City has been completely lost, with only remnants remaining — a 252-meter section of the outer city’s southern wall and a 190-meter section of the outer city’s western wall.

      The city walls were built from earth and consisted of inner and outer sections. The inner city was square-shaped, while the outer city was rectangular. To the west, there was a road leading to Fuyu Prefecture (present-day Nong’an area), and to the east, a route connected to Dongjing City.
