Here the travellers abode fifteen days, and then went south for four days, when they found themselves among the Ts'ung-ling mountains, and reached the country of Yu-hwuy, where they halted and kept their retreat. When this was over, they went on among the hills for twenty-five days, and got to K'eeh-ch'a, there rejoining Hwuy-king and his two companions.
The text only says that they set out from Khoten "towards it." Tsze-hoh has not been identified. Beal thinks it was Yarkand, which, however, was north-west from Khoten. As it took Fa-Hsien twenty-five days to reach it, it must have been at least 150 miles from Khoten. Nor has Yu-hwuy been clearly identified. Evidently it was directly south from Tsze-hoh, and among the "Onion" mountains.
