Thirty kilometers northeast of Kashgar stands the ruined adobe-walled city of Hanoi, which lies in an area three kilometers long and one kilometer wide.

According to textual research, the city has a history of more than 1500 years. A few kilometers of the north ancient city is the site of the Mor Buddhist Pagoda. The pagoda has three square layers, each a little maller than the one below it.

The bottom layer has circumference of more than forty-eight meters, the second layer forty meters and the third layer thirty-two meters, while the pagoda stands more than twelve meters high.

The platform beside the pagoda was one of the central temple structures, and in its side walls were carved niches housing Buddha figurines. But now there are mo figurines left, and even the niches themselves are barely invisible.
