The mosque was originally built in 1370. Over the past 600 years, the mosque had been expanded several times. A new mosque building was constructed in 2004.[2] In 2019, part of the mosque was listed as a protected cultural relic.[3] In May 2023, locals clashed with police as they attempted to stop the authorities' demolition of the mosque's domed roof.[3]
The new mosque building consists of five floors, four minarets and one dome. According to the local mountain establishment. The hall occupies an area of 10,000 square metres (110,000 sq ft). The towers are 72.4 metres (238 ft) in height. The second floor can accommodate 3,000 worshipers. The old building uses a traditional Chinese style, and since has been used as a mosque for women which can hold up to 800 worshipers.[citation needed]
