When coming to Hohhot, many people say that they want to go to the Grand Mosque next to Kuan Alley. I am no exception. After I went there, I found that it was a bit unfair to simply regard this place as a tourist attraction. It not only has beautiful buildings and is suitable for taking photos, but is also full of a strong atmosphere of life. Let’s talk about the architecture first. The Grand Mosque is dominated by green tones, and the chapel and other buildings are very exquisite. Although you can't go in to visit, it looks nice from the outside. If you like taking photos📷, don't miss this place. It will be beautiful to take photos with a long skirt. There is a Moon-Watching Tower inside. Although you can't go up, the building itself looks very beautiful from a distance, and you can also see the moon on the roof from outside at night🌙. Summary of photo taking points: 1️⃣ Moon Watching Tower (distant view + small door downstairs) 2️⃣ Chapel (Picture 56) 3️⃣ Screen wall behind the main entrance (no one but good colors, Picture 4) Speaking of specific daily life, this place is where many locals get married. When I went there, there were two weddings being held. As a tourist, it was very touching to visit the local wedding💖, and I wish them happiness. Here are some tips for the time being: ⌚️This mosque is not big, so you don’t need to spend too much time here. It’s good to visit it before visiting Kuan Alley. Opening hours are from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 15:00 to 19:00 (closed during church hours) ❗️❗️Because it is a mosque🕌, it is not advisable to wear revealing clothes when entering for a visit. Shorts and skirts are allowed. Ladies should not wear tank tops, etc. It is recommended to bring a jacket.

The origin of my trip to Hohhot was a check-in photo at the Grand Mosque. The dazzling gem-like green is the symbol of life advocated by Islamic doctrines. It is the vast natural embrace of the Inner Mongolia grasslands. All the shining points about nation, belief, culture and art come together and instantly touch my heart. I want to go to Hohhot. I have walked into the Juyan Lake and the Badain Jaran Desert, and the immortal Ejina Populus euphratica. I have galloped through the grasslands of Xilin Gol and Hulunbuir, and appreciated the gorgeous colorful forests of Arshan and the exotic customs of Manzhouli, all the way to the Ergun border and the magical Moldaga Forest. I have traveled through the classic scenery of eastern and western Inner Mongolia, but have never set foot in the capital of this big province. When the hot holiday websites can no longer screen out niche and unpopular places, I have to look back to search for the corners that I once forgot. I once thought they were mediocre and ordinary, and they were just places to stay when I passed by. However, as time goes by and I get older, some consciousness shifts, and things change. Every city has its own highlights. What matters is how you explore and experience them. Don't follow the crowd, don't be unconventional, follow your heart, and you can have a rich and exciting time in Hohhot. 👀 We arrived on a drizzling rainy day, just in time to start our trip to Hohhot with a meal of ice-cooked lamb that was both icy and hot. Boat says ice boiled lamb At the Dazhao Square in the evening, the accumulated rainwater on the ground had not yet been drained, but the models in Mongolian costumes were already impatient to start checking in. The white pagodas, red walls, temples and golden plaques, the rough Tibetan style can set off these bright and strong Mongolian costumes. Adhering to the rule that every city has a tourist street, there is also an old street called Saishang here. In the bustling shops and stalls, people drink kumis piled high as a drink, and eat ice cream, yogurt and fruit soup while walking. Although the handicrafts are similar, they all have some local characteristics, such as irregular agate bracelets, polished pendants made of sheep's feet, and leather sachets. They can capture some novelty and the prices are really low. The price-performance ratio is far better than that of the Beijing city market. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a Gerile Ama Milk Tea House on one side of the square. It is full of ethnic flavor and the aroma of milk tea. It also sells mutton offal, scallion pie, ice cream, milk rolls, milk chews, butter mushrooms, cheese cakes and all kinds of Mongolian snacks. Gerile Amma Milk Tea House (Square Store) Strolling around and admiring Xilituzhao in the night, the gate was closed and only the golden plaque dotted with lights could be seen, "Lingguang Siche". This single word "che" carried the light of a temple, as well as the confirmation and nothingness of the tranquility in the dark night. The common man walked into the brightly lit dairy shop opposite. The thousand-layer milk skin and exploding cheese tasted intoxicating. This city has a good appetite. Zhusala Dairy (Zhandong Road Store) 👀 Every day begins with the Mongolian breakfast of fried rice, fruit noodles, and milk skin, and then rushes to the magnificent Hongshiya grassland with thin-skinned steamed buns with lamb and shallots. Wandering around the provincial museum's cultural relics, the golden eagle crown, the Jun kiln incense burner, and the princess's golden mask fully demonstrate the grandeur of the grassland. Inner Mongolia Museum The architectural style of the General's Office and the Princess's Mansion conveys the evolution of history. Xiaozhao Five Pagodas Temple has an exquisite and beautiful Vajrasana Relic Pagoda, delicate and varied stone Buddha statues, tall hall pillars and colorful paintings. Compared with the bustling Dazhao Temple, this place offers more privacy. Wuta Temple Take a break, and in between the roasted lamb legs and hand-pulled meat, have a cup of milky coffee and cut a piece of yurt milk skin cake. Dele Haimeng Restaurant 👀 Of course, there is also the Great Mosque, the starting point for everything. When we got there, perhaps the sunset had already lost its brilliance, or perhaps it was because it had lost the filter blessing of the internet celebrity's check-in photos, this green palace building was not as stunning and beautiful as we had imagined, and we were not overwhelmed or intoxicated by it at first sight. Great Mosque A Muslim elder walked towards the temple and pointed at the tourists who were pouring in: Your shorts are not good, your sleeves are too short, you are underage. . . It seemed that everyone was dissatisfied with the rules for entering the temple, but no one really tried to stop them. The attitude of local residents towards outsiders reflects the inclusiveness of a city. Hohhot has this kind of tolerance and this kind of magnanimity. 👀 The three days arranged were far from enough. I had not had time to explore the Zhaojun Museum, Baoerhan Pagoda, Guanyin Temple, Catholic Church, Kuanxiangzi Food Street, Mongolian Mall and other unknown items on the list, let alone look forward to more unexpected gains. A treasure city, worth visiting again and again. 2024.7

Inner Mongolia Museum was founded in 1957, and it is the largest comprehensive museum in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, as well as one of the earliest established museums in the ethnic minority regions of the country. The new museum was completed in 2007, with a total construction area of 64,200 square meters. The architecture has distinctive ethnic characteristics, and its overall shape is modern and innovative, organically integrated with the surrounding environment. Its meaning is 'On the vast grassland stands a Mongolian yurt engraved with historical rings, moving from the profound ancient times to a beautiful future.' The museum's treasures include: Warring States period gold crown ornament with an eagle top, Han dynasty bronze stove with dragon head, Liao dynasty painted wooden coffin, Liao dynasty princess gold mask, and Jun kiln 'Xiao Song Zizao' incense burner.

The museum features 'Zhaojun Culture,' 'Xiongnu Culture,' and 'Heqin Culture,' and has permanent exhibitions such as 'Zhaojun Going Beyond the Great Wall,' 'Xiongnu Historical and Cultural Exhibition,' and 'Ancient Chinese Heqin Culture Exhibition.' Zhaojun's Tomb, also known as Qingzhong in historical documents, has been clearly recorded since the Tang Dynasty. According to research, it was artificially built and rammed during the Han Dynasty, about 33 meters high, with a base area of 13,000 square meters, and is one of the largest Han tombs in China.

The temple gate has three rooms, and the 'Qingzhen Mosque' plaque is hung directly above.

The Hohhot Great Mosque is the result of the development and innovation based on traditional Chinese architectural culture. It generally reflects the layout of traditional Chinese temple architecture, but the main buildings are connected by a central axis, and the buildings on both sides are not strictly symmetrical. The arrangement of entering the main gate and then the main hall in an inverted manner shows a flexible and unconstrained layout idea, which is a breakthrough from the traditional method. The Hohhot Great Mosque faces west from the east and is an independent three-entry courtyard. The temple gate has three bays, with a horizontal plaque reading 'Great Mosque' hanging above. Inside the temple gate, directly opposite is the back wall of the prayer hall. The main entrance of the prayer hall faces east with three arches, and there is a small platform in front of the door. To the south is the storeroom. At the southwest corner of the three-entry courtyard stands the Moon-Viewing Tower.

The Great Mosque, located on Tongdao South Road in Da Bei Street of Hui Min District in Hohhot, the capital city, is a well-preserved ancient building, constructed in the 32nd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1693 AD). According to the inscriptions on the stele of the mosque's north and south lecture halls, 'Since the establishment of the Great Qing dynasty, it has been built over many years.' Initially, the construction was quite simple, but it was significantly renovated in the 54th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1789 AD). In 1923, the local Hui people raised funds for another renovation, which led to its current scale. The mosque covers an area of about 4,000 square meters. After the renovation, the main hall was raised by 1.7 meters, and the total area of the mosque was expanded by several dozen square meters. The mosque faces east to west, with the main entrance in the middle bearing a plaque with the inscription 'The Great Mosque' and the words 'National Peace' and 'People's Safety'. There was originally a screen wall in front of the temple gate, over one Zhang tall (now demolished). The outer back wall of the main hall faces the main entrance directly. There are side doors to the south and north of the main entrance, with blue walls on both sides. Inside the main gate is the main hall—the main building of the temple, with a unique design. The hall door faces east and has three arch-shaped doors. The lintel is engraved with fine Arabic script, and in front of the main hall is a 'moon platform,' which leads into the main hall when ascended. In addition to the sanctuary, there are also north and south lecture halls, Muslim baths, the Moon-Watching Tower, the Imam's office, the elders' meeting room, the scripture hall, and other buildings. There is a stele pavilion in the mosque, among which the 'Hongwu Emperor's Inscribed Hundred-Word Stele for the Huihui Religion' and the 'Stele of the Great Mosque's Renovation in Suiyuan' are of significant research value. The Moon-Watching Tower, the minaret to the southeast of the mosque, was built in 1933. It is 33 meters high, hexagonal in plan, and has a hexagonal spire. It is named for its use during the month of Ramadan to mark the beginning and end of fasting upon sighting the new moon. The tower has two stories, shaped like bamboo sections, forming a hexagonal body. The west side of the tower is inscribed with the words 'Moon-Watching Tower' in both Chinese and Arabic.
