What travelers say:
Located about 30 kilometers northeast of Kashgar City, the Moerfo Pagoda is an ancient Buddhist relic. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1000 years. The tower is composed of an Oval Earth Tower and a tall overburden platform. The Oval Earth pagoda is hollow, 12 meters high, with three layers of square seats under it. It is built with large adobe. The huge terrace beside the earth pagoda is the central building here. It is specially designed for Buddha. The Buddha statues in the wall niche have disappeared due to the exfoliation of age, but the traces of the niche are still indistinguishable.

Mo'er Pagoda Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Morfo Pagoda is located on a sand dune in the middle of Gumatage Mountain, about 30 kilometers northeast of Kashgar City. Founded in the Tang Dynasty, it has a history of more than 1,000 years. Moer, Uyghur means flue, chimney. The pagoda consists of an oval earthen pagoda and a bucket-shaped high platform, which was dedicated to the Buddha in those days. In the early days, local residents always mistook this tower for an ancient beacon tower, hence the name Moore. The pagoda is backed by Gumatage Mountain and faces the Chakmak River. The pagoda is 13 meters high and majestic. There are traces of Buddhist shrines on the front and two sides of the pagoda, which are the remains of Buddha statues in those years. Below the tower there are remnants of the palace, which was destroyed by war. The tower body is hollow, and the climbing footwell can be seen on the upper part. There are round holes at the top. There is a huge high platform next to the pagoda, such as an upside-down bucket with a big bottom and a small top. It is the central building of the pagoda and is specially used for the Buddha. Although the Buddha statues in the pagoda have disappeared, the traces of the Buddhist shrines are still vaguely recognizable. There is a group of monks' houses in the southeast of the Moer Pagoda. There is a row of ancient karez on the sandy ground below the slope, which is about 1 km long and was the water source for the monks in those days. After Islam was officially introduced to Kashgar in the early 10th century, the Morfo Pagoda declined and disappeared in the war.

From a road near Kashgar Railway Station to Bershkranmu Township, there are constantly signs indicating how many kilometers away is Molfo Tower. After entering the countryside, I passed a card and the road after that was called Moore Road. After a few turns, you can see it from a distance. There is a fence around the site and a small house at the entrance. There is a Uighur boy who collects tickets for 15 yuan, but he can collect less or not. The railroad passes right by the ruins. Passengers walking from Kashgar to Atushi can see the pagoda from the window. If you don't want to go back after the tour, you can continue to go north to Atush.
Shouldn't be open yet. I don't know if it's excavating something. Drones are not allowed to fly.
The last 2.5Km level on Moer Road is not allowed to say that it is closed.
