In addition to the common features of most of the above mosques - the sharp contrast and harmony between the vault and the square, the straight line and the arc, the smooth lines, the beautiful shape, and the unique ethnic characteristics - the most unique thing about the mosque is The outer wall is covered with neat and fine ceramic tiles. Except for a small amount of gorgeous multicolored tiles on the door frame and minaret, the main body is pure and eye-catching under the sun.
