Huaisheng Mosque, also Guangta Pagoda, is believed to be constructed by a group of Arabs led by Abi Waqqas, a missionary who travelled on his first Muslim mission to China in the 630s in Tang dynasty. The name of the mosque, Huaisheng, means “remembering the sage.” The Minaret, commonly known as “Guang Ta(Light Tower)” , is situated in the southwest corner of the mosque.
