30 kilometers northeast in Kashgar city 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 is 1,500 years old. A few kilometers north of the ancient city are the site of the Mor Buddhist Pagoda. The pagoda has three square layers; each one is a little smaller than the one below it. The bottom layer has a circumference of more than forty-eight meters; the second one is forty meters and the third one is 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 no figurines left, and even the niches themselves are barely visible.
