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

The Great Mosque of Hohhot covers 4,000 square meters and features a 15-meter minaret built with black bricks at the intersection of Zhongshan Lu and Tongdao Jie streets.

Founded in 1693 by Hui merchants, the mosque underwent substantial renovations in 1789 and 1923 to preserve its structural elements and religious functions.

The mosque combines Chinese architectural elements with Islamic designs, reflecting the integration of Hui people's religious practices within Chinese society.

The mosque contains multiple facilities including a prayer hall and public bath, making it a central gathering point for religious activities in Inner Mongolia.

A 200-year-old Arabic Koran consisting of 30 volumes represents one of the most valuable artifacts preserved within the mosque's walls.
