📜 About & history
Daweigeng is one of the oldest Hui villages of Weishan's Yongjian township, its settlement traced to a Yuan-dynasty military garrison (1257). Its large mosque, built and enlarged under the Qing, is among the biggest in the Yongjian Hui belt — the same district that produced the Panthay leader Du Wenxiu. The area is a core heartland of post-Panthay-rebellion Hui heritage in western Yunnan.
