From the beginning of the twentieth-century to the present，considerable scholarly attention has been devoted to Buddhist caves in Xinjiang，but relatively little research has been done on the archaeological remains of Buddhist monasteries in Xinjiang. In recent years, not only have archeologists from the Xinjiang Bureau of Artifacts and Archeology carried out surveys of well-known Buddhist sites, such as the site of the Buddhist monastery Kazinake in Tian District，the Buddha Hall near the Kaladun site，and Buddhist Monastic Site 93A35S in Niya, Minfeng District; they have also discovered and excavated the Xida Monastery in the old city of Beiting in Jimusaer District; and surveyed the remains of Buddhist buildings in the old city of Jiaohe. In the Hetian region，they have conducted a survey and discovered the sites of several Buddhist monasteries, including Bugaiuyulaike in Hetian city，Kemulabate in Heiyu District，and the Buddhist monastery Buleste in Pishan District. They have also located the site of the famous Niutoushan Monastery. As reports have already been published on Xida Monastery in Beijing and the Buddhist buildings in the old city of Jiaohe，this article focuses on the other sites.
