"2nd Detail Map of CHINESE TARTARY Containing the Area of NINGUTA, which is Properly the Ancient Land of the MANCHUS, and the Northernmost Extremity of Korea", from the 1737 <i>New Atlas of China, Chinese Tartary, and Tibet</i>. Ninguta (Manchu: ᠨᡳᠩᡤᡠᡨᠠ, "The Six"; Chinese: 寧吉塔, <i>Nínggǔtǎ</i>) was an area around the Hurka and Hailang River valleys where—along with Ilan Hala—the Jurchens grew in strength until Nurhachi organized them as the Manchus. The chief fortress—also known as Ninguta—was near Gucheng Village (古城村) in Changting Township (长汀镇), Hailin County (海林市), Mudenjiang Prefecture (牡丹江市), Heilongjiang Province, China. Still known as Ninguta, it was subsequently moved 50 km to the present seat of Ning'an County (寧安市) in Mudenjiang.
