    "Be sure not to go on Friday! ! ! Ctrip said that it is open all year round, and it is not so back at all! Friday is the day when Muslims go to the mosque to worship, and it will not be open to outside tourists! The information on Ctrip should have been updated, which made us run for nothing! The size of the mosque is still ok from the outside and the interior should be worth visiting"

The main building of the mosque is a central worship hall covered by a large white dome with a diameter of 45 meters, which is very eye-catching from the outside. Surrounding the hall is a 5-story annex, the entire building is paved with marble, of which there are 4,400 marble columns alone.
