Lazhi Mosque in Lazhi Village, Guzhan Township, stands on a hilltop above the surrounding villages. Founded by Hui settlers in the early Ming, it has a courtyard layout and a hip-and-gable hall with carved-brick flowers. Destroyed in the 1929 unrest, it was rebuilt in 1934 and again in 1946, used as a granary and classrooms in 1958, reopened in 1981 and given an ablution house in 1990.
