Hantengri Mosque (Not Open to the Public)... Urumqi Mosque.

Located on Jiefang South Road in Tianshan District, Urumqi, Xinjiang, this Islamic mosque has a deep historical heritage. The mosque was first built in 1864 and has undergone several expansions and renovations to reach its current size. The architecture is unique, skillfully combining traditional Islamic art with modern architectural art to present a distinctive style. The mosque includes a minaret building, prayer hall, courtyard, and other parts, with strict layout and exquisite decorations. It is one of the important religious sites in Urumqi and a great place for tourists to learn about local religious culture and history. However, due to some restrictions on entry, it was a bit disappointing that we could only look around the surroundings.
