Yarhu Ancient Tomb Complex
Situated on the western terrace of the Jiaohe Ancient City Gully, separated from the city by a single gully. The entire tomb area is a narrow terrace, with a relatively large burial site covering an area of 100,000 square meters. Only three tombs were excavated in the 1950s, yielding over 500 funerary artifacts. These mainly include pottery, embossed gold ornaments, copper petal decorations, crystal red beads, Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, and Persian silver coins, indicating that the tombs date from the Gaochang Kingdom of the Qu family to the Tang Dynasty. No further scientific excavations have been conducted since.
