History

[edit]

Construction

[edit]

In the 1670s, the Olot Mongolian Junggar Tribe (厄鲁特蒙古准噶尔部) moved its capital to Ili, and the Hainuke Ancient City (海努克古城) became the capital of the Dzungar Khanate. At the beginning of the 18th century, they built the Hainuke Temple on the south bank of the Yili River.[5]

Destroyed

[edit]

In December 1753, Hainuke Temple was burned down.[6] Later, the temple was rebuilt. In 1762, the Qing Government wanted to set up a military castle in Hainuke Temple, and the Temple was demolished.[7]

Hainuke Temple Relic Site

[edit]

Hainuke Temple Relic Site (海努克庙遗址) is located in Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County, and was designated as a protected cultural relic in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in 1966.[8]
