There is a cave on the broken rock to the south of the castle. Professor Huang Wenbi wrote in "Archaeology of the Tarim Basin": "In the rock crevices under the steep slope by the Linhe River, there are cavities covered by floating sand, which are suspected to be the sites of ancient people's residence. Ask the mullahs to dig it out, and the Qianyuan One piece of money, wooden slips with ancient national characters written on it, and pink pottery fragments, all from the Tang Dynasty. There are many Sanskrit and Chinese characters engraved on the top of the stone chamber.” Now the writing on the top of the cave has peeled off. Stein came here twice in 1908 and 1913 to dig up a large number of cultural relics. There are turtle-shaped red pottery dishes, relief molds of seated Buddhas, wooden products, wool products, metal products, leather products, and more precious are various ancient documents, among which there are many ancient Tibetan wooden slips. Among the paper documents are Chinese, Khotanese, Arabic and ancient Uighur documents.
