The Huajue Lane Mosque in Xi'an is located in Huajue Lane, northwest of the Drum Tower in Xi'an. It is also known as the Huajue Lane Grand Mosque. Along with the Grand Mosque in Daxue Lane, it is considered one of the two oldest mosques in Xi'an, China. Because it is located east of the Daxue Lane Mosque, it is also called the East Grand Mosque. It is one of the oldest, largest, and best-preserved Islamic mosques in China, built in the year 742 during the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD). The mosque covers an area of more than 12,000 square meters, divided into four courtyards, measuring 250 meters in length and 47 meters in width, with a reasonable layout. Inside the mosque, there is a large wooden archway built in the early 17th century, standing 9 meters tall. Its unique design blends Muslim and traditional Chinese architectural styles. This mosque serves as a place of worship for the large Muslim population in Xi'an, primarily the Hui ethnic minority. During prayer times, non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the main prayer hall. After the tour of the Grand Mosque, visitors can stroll to the Muslim quarter for sightseeing.
