Construction scale

The main halls of the mosque were repaired and rebuilt after the "Cultural Revolution". In January 1980, Tianjin municipal and district governments raised 60000 yuan and donated money to repair the hall. In 1984, the villagers raised 100000 yuan to rebuild the North-South lecture hall, the opposite hall and the moon tower in the northwest of the hall. In 1986, the bathing room was built. Because the main hall was damaged by the earthquake, the main hall was rebuilt in 1992, and the original bungalow of the Sutra room was converted into a two-story building. It was completed in 1995, with a total investment of more than 7 million yuan.
