Urumqi Qinghai mosque
The Urumqi Qinghai Mosque is located in the southwest of Urumqi City, China’s Xinjiang province.
Built in 1868 by one person from Qinghai province and renovated for two times, it now covers an area of 1.6 hectare (4 ac.).
It is famous for its architectural style and cultural heritage and is well-known as a religious site.
The whole mosque can be divided into two parts: the main hall and the umbrella gate house.
The main hall can accommodate 500 people, and many people come here to worship especially during some festivals.
