The Ruins of Qiolaktur Beacon Tower, [Tuer Village, Taxierike Township · Tang Dynasty · County-level Cultural Relics Protection Unit]

The site has an irregular square layout, with the north-south walls measuring 52 meters in length, the east wall 62 meters, and the west wall 44.5 meters; the highest point reaches 5.5 meters, with a base width of 9 meters and a top width of 4–4.5 meters. The four corners feature outward-projecting buttress walls, now collapsed into semi-circular shapes, with remaining lengths of 4.5–8×9 meters and heights of 3–5.5 meters. The middle sections of the west, north, and south walls still retain remnants of battlements. The entrance is located on the south wall, where the remains of a barbican can still be seen. A square earthen platform protrudes from the west side of the barbican. As the surrounding area has been converted into farmland, no artifacts are visible on the surface.
