In 1036 the Ganzhou Uyghur Kingdom was annexed by the Tanguts. After the destruction of their realm, the Ganzhou Uyghurs migrated west and settled between Dunhuang and the Qaidam Basin, where they came be known as the Yellow Head Uyghurs. They practiced Buddhism and lived as pastoral nomads. Their descendants are today known as the Western Yugurs.
