Zhenxingcun Dasi (Northeast Gate)

Step through the Northeast Gate of Zhenxing Village Grand Mosque, and you'll discover a hidden gem of Xinjiang's ethnic charm! The brick-red archway adorned with intricate Islamic geometric patterns transports you to another world. Inside, the hand-painted dome shimmers in blue and gold under the sunlight, where local Uyghur worshippers whisper prayers. Come at dusk—the silhouette of the gateway against the backdrop of the Tianshan Mountains creates a photographer's dream. Don't miss the freshly baked sesame naan from nearby stalls, its crispy warmth is pure delight!
