The Qigexing Buddhist Temple Ruins (Uyghur: Xorqu, Chinese: 七个星佛寺遗址; pinyin: Qīgè Xīng Fúsì Yízhǐ; literally: "Seven-Stars Buddhist Temple Ruins") is a ruined compound of Buddhist religious sites located about 25–30 km southwest of the town of Yanqi, Yanqi Hui Autonomous County, Xinjiang, China. The site is believed to have been a major religious center along the northern route of the Silk Road in the second half of the first millennium CE.
