📜 About & history

The largest Hui mosque in Hami, tracing its origins to mud-brick prayer rooms built by Hui settlers on Guanghua Street in 1881. Under Shaanxi Hui notables Ma Juesan, Li Kaizong and Liu Wanying, a larger mosque was begun in August 1893 and completed in the summer of 1898. Occupying about 2,500 sq m in a courtyard layout, its 450 sq m prayer hall carries traditional Chinese motifs of plum, bamboo, pine and chrysanthemum in dominant reds and blues. It was listed as a Xinjiang autonomous-region cultural relic in 2003.
