The Western Defufa is a large mudbrick temple located about 15 minutes' walk from town. Originally standing 19 meters high and 50 meters long, it is believed to have served a religious function, although its exact purpose remains uncertain. Over time, the structure has deteriorated, but it still offers visitors the opportunity to climb to the top and enjoy expansive views of the surrounding area. The temple's unique and weathered appearance adds to its historical and cultural appeal.
