It was first built in nineteenth century by a group of Chinese people, called Chin Ho or Hui, mostly came from Yunnan. The present-day buildings were built later, with an Arabic style rather a Chinese style, except in front of the prayer hall, there is a Chinese word, “清真寺”,which means a mosque.
Every Saturday and Sunday, there is a class for young local Muslims, beginning around 8 O’clock to the noon prayer (dhuhr). The mosque also receives 20 students each year for parents who can’t afford to send their children to a government school. However, most of them are from the other part of the country, rather in Chiang Mai. The students are both Chinese and non-Chinese Muslims.;
