Zhaohuli Temple, also known as Subash Buddhist Temple, is located in the east of Kuqa County. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was a large temple in the Kingdom of Kucha where monks gathered and were very prosperous. Tang Monk Xuanzang once stayed here for two months when he went to India to learn Buddhist scriptures. Unfortunately, the temple was destroyed by war in the 9th century.

Here is the Duku Highway, so excited! It’s still an asphalt road, but the scenery on both sides is beginning to become magnificent. The large area of Yadan landform, which I bought a ticket last year and took a car to see it in Gansu. In Xinjiang, a big sign was erected directly on the side of the road. Wrote "Yadan landform", just look at it, hee hee!
