Situated on the north of South Heping Road, Shaanxi Mosque was first established at the end of the 18th century, and was rebuilt by the ethnic Hui people who migrated from Northwest China's Shaanxi Province. Now it is the biggest mosque for the Hui people in Uygur. The whole building is made of post and panel structure. At the front is a grand 10-meter tall hall, which is delicately decorated. On the archway, the Koran is very finely carved.
