This mosque was originally constructed in the 30th year of the Wanli era during the Ming Dynasty. It faces east and is oriented towards the west, with the words ‘Heaven is but a footstep away’ inscribed on the wall of the temple. Inside the temple gate’s archway, there is a passageway with the words ‘Truly Pure’ written above, which is inscribed in Arabic script by a Ming Dynasty scholar on the back. Upon entering, one finds the lecture hall, which is the place where the Imam expounds the teachings. To the south of the hall lies the prayer hall. The architecture features double eaves and upturned corners, exuding an air of simplicity and grandeur, with a spacious interior. The hall contains a clear prayer platform and niches. To the left of the temple gate is the ablution room, and at the southern end of the temple is the Muslim women’s school. The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the day’s opening conditions.
