Dongdan Kingdom(A.D.926~936) is the puppet kingdom established by the Khitan to rule the realm of the Bohai Kingdom in Eastern Manchuria.
After conquering the Bohai Kingdom in 926, the Khitan crown prince Yelü Bei ascended the throne of Dongdan at the old Bohai capital of Huhan in Eastern Manchuria, today's Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province.
Bei's son was elevated to the new king of Dongdan, but the kingdom was annexed by the Khitan Empire in 936.
