Kizil Caves

The Kizil Cave-Temple Complex is a cliff of chambers on the corridor, not the earthen city of Yar in Turpan. What can be seen depends on which rooms are open.

Caves in the cliff

Kizil is a complex of Buddhist chambers cut into rock at Baicheng. Open rooms decide what a visitor can see.
