The Bagdati Mausoleum consists of a mosque and a cemetery. The cemetery is enclosed by trees and is called "Maisu." The constructed mosque has front and rear gates, a 12-meter-high gate tower and minaret, with a construction area of 334 square meters. It also includes a dining hall and three dormitory rooms. Currently, the mosque and 330 acres of cemetery land remain.
It is said that the Bagdati Mausoleum was built during the Ming Dynasty. In 1957, it was designated as a key cultural relic protection unit of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region by the People's Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
