Find site description
Area on the southern arm of the Silk Road on the Endere river. It comprises Bilel-Konghan, Endere Stupa and various other Endere dwellings. The site as a whole was reported by Stein to have been occupied at two separate times, with an interval of centuries inbetween. Xuan Zang saw in 645 AD this site already in ruins, but it was occupied again later in the Tang dynasy, only to be abandoned once more when the area was taken over by the Tibetans in the 8th century.
