The monument has a complex architecture – inside the straight rectangular is located an entire labyrinth of buildings, resembling the Buddhist or Hindu mandola. The walls form a straight rectangular of 211õ158 meters.
The southern and northern walls are partially destroyed; the western and the eastern sides are relatively well kept. The greatest demolition of walls is observed in the northwestern and southwestern corners. In the middle of the eastern wall are located the gates with greatly destroyed towers. The entrance ramps, parallel to the walls, rise on these towers from the interior parts of the fortress.
Along the northern, western and southern walls there are 26 rectangular rooms. The walls of the rooms are greatly matted and slump. The rooms are closely adjoined to each other. The rooms are divided by a wattle and daub wall with a height of 0,7 up to 1,5 meters.
Continuous cob walls are situated in parallel with the fortress walls, cross walls have passages chequerwise. All these bays are 26õ16 meters. Inside each bay square constructions are located (7õ8 meters), made of raw brick.
The territory in front of the eastern wall is similar to an area in front of the palace building, where military gatherings, trainings or ceremonies as well as ritual ceremonies could take place.
The complex of the palace represents two buildings connected by a crosspiece and situated on a stylobate – a platform of carefully rammed clay and soil, coated by burned bricks made of gray clay. The buildings were square (23õ23 m and 15õ15 m) and were connected by a roofed passage 6 meters long. From the eastern side two wide eight stepped main stairs made of plates and bricks leaded to these buildings. In the center of each staircase a ramp of plates was located.
To the eastern side of the building from the northern and southern sides were adjoined entrance ramps. The roof of the building was supported by wooden columns (36 in the big room and 8 in the small room), leaned on granite bases. The roof was covered by a gray-white cylindrical tile and decorated by trailer disks with ornament on the edge.
External walls of the building, made of raw bricks were more than 1 m thick and were covered by red and orange ornamental frescos. During the excavations fire traces were discovered. Buildings with magnificent architecture, absolutely unusual for simple nomads, were lost in the fire. In the opinion of S.I.Weinstein it was a palace complex of a Uigur chagan or his legate. During excavations fragments of ceramic were found which can be correlated with Uigurs and the treasure consisting of 101 ferric forging bars with stamps on them.
