A Buddhist cave temple in Shanshan County, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. In China it is written as Tuyukou. It is located in a gorge in the Flame Mountains that border the north, east of Kara-Khojo. It was investigated by DA Clements in 1898, A. Grünwedel in 1907, and MA Stein in 1916, and also by A. von Le Coq and the Otani Expedition, but only a part of it is known. In addition to the caves, a mud-brick temple was also built in the open space on the cliff. The main hall has a flat ceiling with a triangular corbel structure expressed in color, and the side rooms have vaulted ceilings.
