Abstract

So far, there has been no comprehensive and systematic investigation of the Koguryo mountain cities in North Korea.The New Century the Institute of Archaeology, North Korea Social Science Academy conducted a planned excavation and survey of the Koguryo relics in the country, and conducted a systematic survey of the Koguryo mountain cities throughout North Korea from 2010 to 2015. Through this survey, we not only investigated a new batch of Koguryeo mountain cities, but also corrected the previous misrecords of specific mountain cities, reconfirming whether the disputed Koguryeo mountain city is a Koguryeo mountain city.
 As a report on the results of a five-year survey of Koguryeo Mountain City by the Academia of North Korea, this paper will divided the Koguryeo mountain cities along the northern east coast into two parts: Hamgyǒngbuk-do(咸鏡北道), Hamgyungnam-do and Gangwon-do in North Korea (北 江原道) to introduce them.
 The first part will introduce the Fortress on Mt Untou (雲頭⼭城) in the region of Hamgyǒngbuk-do and the Fortress on Mt Baegun (白雲⼭城), the Fortress on Mt Gayeong (加應⼭城) in Hamgyungnam-do which played an important role in the defense of Goguryeo in the northeast.
