📜 About & history

Built in 1897 (Guangxu 23) when local Hui villagers pooled 200 taels of silver; the roof ornaments, carved beams and wooden pedestals took three years to complete. Its layout blends traditional Chinese construction with Islamic architecture and is regarded as a testament to Hui-Han coexistence in the Fukang area. It is a Changji-prefecture protected cultural heritage site, about 45 km east of central Fukang.
