Baoma is an archaeological site near Erdaobaihe in Antu County on Changbaishan’s northern side. Excavations from 2014 to 2018 changed the interpretation from an earlier settlement hypothesis to a Jin-dynasty shrine connected with royal worship of the mountain. Platforms, halls, corridors, drainage works and roof ornaments preserve its architectural plan.
Five years of excavation at Baoma in Antu County changed its identification from a walled settlement to a Jin-dynasty royal shrine for Changbaishan. Platforms, corridors, drains and roof ornaments show how the mountain’s ritual center was built.
