The Na Family Mosque, oriented to the east, turns out to be a courtyard built in traditional Chinese architecture, comprising a front gate-tower, a pair of aisle suites, a main hall and a bathroom which are spread out on a rectangular area of 2 hectares. There are two pagoda trees in front of the mail worship hall. The imam calls prayers to attend religious services by knocking a wooden block on the minaret when it is the worship time.
