Guonei Cheng or the Kungnae Fortress is an archaeological site of the Koguryŏ (Chinese Gaogouli ) kingdom and is located in the area of ​​the city of Ji'an 集安市 in the Chinese province of Jilin . It is located near the Wandu Shancheng site , which also belongs to the middle Koguryŏ period. They have been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (2-52) since 1982 and have been listed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site " Capitals and Tombs of the Ancient Kingdom of Koguryo " since 2004  .

The Guonei Fortress, like the Wandu Mountain Fortress, was the capital of the Koguryŏ Empire, probably its second, from the early first century until 427, when the capital was moved to Pyongyang . It remained the second capital until the fall of Koguryŏ in 668.

"Guonei" ("in the country") is, according to Beckwith, a Chinese translation of the name of the city in the Koguryŏ language, which is also reproduced phonetically as " 不耐 " in Chinese script . Beckwith reconstructs the Koguryŏ name as * Pɨyna .
