The Ancient City of Akshebule

　　   Also known as Aksibil, meaning "White City." Located 40 kilometers northwest of Luopu County, it is said to be the site of the ancient Kingdom of Khotan from the Tang to Song dynasties (7th–10th centuries). Most of the ruins remain buried under shifting sands, with only a section of over 100 meters long and more than 3 meters high of the outer wall exposed above the sand. Various coins from the Tang, Kaiyuan, Qianyuan, and Song dynasties, as well as holeless copper coins minted during the Kara-Khanid Khanate period, have been discovered here. Other artifacts related to Buddhist art include pottery figurines, bronze statues, and small bone-carved lions. Pottery shards, porcelain fragments, and small copper and iron items from different dynasties are also frequently found.
