📜 About & history
Gaotou Mosque in Gaotou Village, Wuji County, Hebei, was founded in 1540 (19th year of the Ming Jiajing era). It covers 4,567 square metres and blends Chinese palace and Arab styles; its roof bears glazed vases and golden glazed lions granted by Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor. Rebuilt and enlarged several times, including in 1871, it was repaired again after receiving the vases in 1901. The well-preserved vases were reinstalled in 1980, and a full restoration in 2002 brought back the palace-style gate. The main prayer hall holds 500 worshippers.
