Great Mosque of Hohhot, Islamic monument in Huimin District, Hohhot, China.

The Great Mosque of Hohhot stands in the Huimin District, west of the old city's north gate. It was first built in 1693 as a few simple earthen rooms and expanded over the following centuries. The complex covers 4,000 square metres and is laid out on an east-west axis in two courtyards, with a gate, prayer hall, south and north lecture halls, a bathhouse and a 33-metre hexagonal tower.

This place of worship was founded in 1693 by Hui merchants and became a religious center for the region. Major renovations took place in 1789 and 1923 to maintain its structure and continue its role as a gathering place for prayer.

The mosque blends Chinese architectural elements with Islamic design, showing how the Hui community has integrated their faith into local building traditions. Walking through the space, you can see how this combination shapes the appearance and reflects the identity of the people who worship here.

The site has multiple sections including a prayer hall and public bath that visitors can explore. It helps to enter from the main gate at the street intersection and allow time to see the different parts of the complex.

The mosque keeps 30 volumes of an Arabic handwritten Quran, along with seven stone steles. Among them is the 1694 stele of the Kangxi emperor's hundred-character eulogy for Islam, whose text differs from the version printed in later Chinese Islamic books.
