Su Gong Pagoda(monastery) is located in the eastern suburbs of Turpan City, about 3 kilometers from the city center. It is a brick pagoda with strong Uygur style. When we enter the scenic spot, the first thing we see is a marble sculpture, which is the famous EminHe Zhuo king of Turpan in the Qing Dynasty, so the Su Gong Pagoda is also called Emin Tower, and the local people are also called Turpan Tower. The pagoda with a history of about 300 years was built in 1778 by Suleiman, the second son of EminHezhuo, who spent 7,000 taels of silver to commemorate his father's achievements and to thank the Qing government for giving them a high honor, so it was called Su Gong Pagoda. Secondly, the pagoda commemorated the peaceful development of Xinjiang and the maintenance of national unity. It was built to conmemorate the outstanding patriots who made great contributions to the fight against national division, the great national hero EminHe Zhuo, so it is also called Emin Tower. Third, this tower is the largest tower in Turpan, so it is called Turpan Tower.
The tower is 37 meters high and 10 meters in diameter at the bottom. Compared with the Sugong Pagoda, the mosque next to it is called Munar mosque. The two buildings are in harmony and symmetry, one high and the other low. Tens of thousands of Muslims from all over the world come here to worship during the Eid al-Adha and Ramadan festivals and every Friday
