Altyn Mosque

The Altyn Mosque (simplified Chinese: 阿尔丁清真寺; traditional Chinese: 阿爾丁清真寺; pinyin: Ā'ěrdīng Qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in Yarkand in Yarkant County, in the Xinjiang autonomous region of China.

It is noted for its painted ceilings and the tomb of the poet Amannisa Khan (1526-60) which is in its sahn. She was the wife of one of the local Khans.

Beyond the mosque is a cemetery housing the Tombs of the Yarkand Khans, listed as a Chinese major cultural heritage site.
