History
The mosque was built in 1370 CE and has expanded several times since. A new mosque 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]
Architecture
The new mosque building consists of five floors, four minarets and a dome. The hall occupies an area of 10,000 square metres (110,000 sq ft) and the minarets are 72.4 metres (238 ft) high. The second floor can accommodate 3,000 worshipers. The old building used a traditional Chinese architectural style, and has subsequently been used as a mosque for women that can hold up to 800 worshipers.[citation needed]
