Ürümqi Shaanxi Mosque, Islamic sanctuary in Tianshan District, China.
The Ürümqi Shaanxi Mosque features a 10-meter-high main hall with wooden carpeting designed specifically for Muslim prayers and multiple functional buildings around the courtyard.
The mosque emerged during China's Qianlong Period between 1736 and 1795, followed by substantial modifications from 1875 to 1908 to accommodate increased attendance.
The structure incorporates both Islamic and Chinese architectural elements, displaying intricate tile work and wooden carvings that represent the fusion of two design traditions.
Different sections of the mosque serve specific purposes, with the northern hall functioning as a teaching space, the southern section as a bathhouse, and the eastern wing as administrative offices.
The mosque functions as the headquarters of Urumqi's Islamic Association while maintaining its role as the largest prayer facility in the city.
