The Qing dynasty was founded by the Manchus who created the modern borders of China from 1644. It was they who took East Turkestan and Mongolia into "China".
As for making stuff outside of "only" the Yuan and Qing who set up shop in China - Uzbekistan (itself named after a tribal confederation who took power) is full of monuments set up by Steppe empires, and the Taj Mahal in India was set up by the Mughals (a Turko-Mongol conquest state). Then one has modern day Turkey, created by Turks who set up shop and created a powerful state.
