==Archaeological excavations== thumb|upright|left|Pillars excavated in Endere In 1901 the fort of Endere was excavated by Sir Mark Aurel Stein. Endere is believed to have been an important military post and a centre for Buddhist worship located about half-way between Charchan and Nina (or Niya). Coins discovered there indicate that the Chinese controlled the area as early as the Han dynasty but fell to the Tibetans during the Tang dynasty. However, the fort was abandoned in the ninth century when the Endere river changed its course.
