Close to the south-west shore of Tusheng Lake, some 20 km to the south-east of
the Cock and Deer Fort, a large city called Yuhun was the city westernmost on the
frontier built by the Han Dynasty in this area (Fig.

). It was a place of strategic
importance commanding the gorge of the fort, but it was soon reduced to ruins.
