苏公塔礼拜寺

吐鲁番标志性建筑，浓郁的伊斯兰风格，塔身有多种几何图案，见证了清代吐鲁番郡王额敏的忠诚。去的时候正好礼拜五，遇到穆斯林做礼拜，没能进入清真寺内部。有点遗憾。门票50真够贵。我总觉得这个塔是吐鲁番最大的酿葡萄的地方- -

外型极其特殊，用砖拼出10几种图案拼凑出了一个圆柱塔，我站在塔下看了半天也没数清楚，反正比10种多，拼接水平比较高，厉害。里面倒没啥了，和一般的清真寺相去不大

伊斯兰和佛教融合的古塔。旁边有清真寺。塔身上刻有分别象征伊斯兰教和佛教的各种图案，距今约300多年。七十年代后塔就不对外开放了，只能欣赏外观。

很漂亮的建筑，带有浓厚的伊斯兰风格，整个礼拜寺保存的非常完好，很值得去看看，感受一下当地人的宗教信仰，别有风味。

门票不贵，进去发现没什么看的，第一次进清真寺，里面就是一个空的礼拜堂。那个苏公塔不能上去，只能围着走一圈，建筑确实很有阿富汗特色，鉴于不能登高望远，其实在外面看也差不多。

这座尖塔有着阿富汗的建筑风格,很上相。清真寺自身和其它清真寺没什么两样,是尖塔吸引了你。唯一的缺点:要登塔得再交250元,而我不打算付,因此不好评论尖塔里面的情况。

Everyting around is nice (and partly green), but it´s the minaret that´s great. If You have some time left You might have a look into the adjacent mansion of the governor.

As I love architecture, this was one of my favourite places in Turpan. The patterned bricks on the minaret were impressive and rich of details. The mosque has recently been renovated, it's an interesting structure but there's not much to see inside. There's also a couple of pagodas at the back of the mosque but we couldn't go there as that area was off-limits to non-muslims. I would recommend visiting the mosque in the morning if you're planning to take photos - we went there in the afternoon and unfortunately I couldn't take many good photos as the sun was just behind the minaret.

The second part of our day tour was to visit Sugong Pagoda. The Sugong Pagoda lies in the southeast suburb, six kilometers away from Turpan City. The cylindrical Sugong Pagoda is 37 meters high and 10 meters in diameter from the bottom. The pagoda was built in 1181 by the ruler of the Turpan Prefecture, to honor his father. It was a pretty small sight and ok. We prefers other sights under Turpan tour.

The minaret was beautiful and good to see the different brick work up close. The mosque itself was just ok. Somewhere for a quick look around only

The courtyard entrance to this minaret built in 1778 in honor of Emin Khoja can hold 1,000 people. The figured brick minaret itself is supposed to be the tallest in all of China. The interior of the mosque is simple, supposedly reflecting local Uighur style, and off-limits to locals except on Muslim Holy Days (and, I believe on Fridays). To the back and sides is a graveyard.

The minaret is very neat considering it is original and all brick but you can no longer climb up it. The attached mosque is newer and not that impressive. Stop by for a photo, sunset behind it is excellent.

A simple mosque built in the traditional brick style. Definitely not worth going inside. Plus the minaret is not open to go up the top instead they have made a tower nearby from where you can see the mosque and the surrounding views. The site is slightly abandoned with vines overgrowing and blocking the path at the back of the mosque. No worries about what you wear. No need to cover arms etc if a woman.

The middle-eastern style construction of the minaret is beautiful, but seeing it from the outside is the best. If I went again, I wouldn't pay to go inside, but rather take a picture with the tower in the background behind me.

This is an OK place, not too much destroyed by commercial tourism. The minaret is not bad though I have seen better ones. The inside of the mosque is quite uninteresting, and very similar to any mosque in Xinjiang.
