Covering an area of 11,940 square meters ,the mosque in Dongguan Street of Xining was built during the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago.
The front gate of the mosque is imposing and is flanked by two elegant minarets. Behind the gate is a spacious courtyard.
The main structure is built in traditional Chinese palace style with dark gray brick walls and a green roof with upturned eaves.
The harmoniously arranged secondary buildings stand symmetrically on the north and south. On each service day or folk festival, tens of thousands of Muslims gathered here to practice their religious service. With magnificent and well lay-out, the mosque is one of the most famous of its kind in Northwest China.
