Gaisimu

According to legend, during the Tang Zhenguan period, at the invitation of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the Islamic prophet Muhammad sent disciples Ghaith, Wuwaisi and Wangas to preach in China. Wangas died of illness in Guangzhou, and Gais and Wuwais arrived in Chang'an and were welcomed by Emperor Taizong. On the way back to China, Wuweisi died of illness in Huihui Fort in Hexi, while Gaisi died in Xingxingxia in the ninth year of Tang Zhenguan (AD 635) and was hastily buried. Later, Hami Huiwang sent people to build an arch back in Xingxingxia. "Xinjiang Tuzhi" records: "There is a Huihe tomb at the foot of the Xingxingxia....;...; the natives built houses for the gold, covered the ridges, and responded to prayers. ". Later, the back of the arch was demolished. In 1939, Hami Muslims initiated the construction of the current Tomb of Ghaith, and the remains of Ghaith were relocated here from Xingxingxia. The tomb of Qais is an Islamic building, about 10 meters high, with a square lower part and a vaulted dome on the upper part. The top is inlaid with green glazed tiles, and there are eaves around it. The cemetery is surrounded by walls, and various trees, flowers and plants are planted in the walls, and the environment is particularly elegant and quiet. The Tomb of Ghaith contains the remains of Islamic sages, which are rarely preserved in the world, and is one of the important holy places for Islamic believers. Many Muslims who cannot go to Mecca for pilgrimage come here to worship. The brocades offered by the worshipers are hung all over the walls of the tomb, and are superimposed on the tomb of the "sage".
