Emin Minaret is located at eastern suburbs of Turpan City in the village of Munar， Xinjiang. It is a tower-shaped Islamic building with a unique style. Emin Minaret is the largest existing ancient pagoda in Xinjiang. It was built in 1777 in honor of the heroic Turpan general, Emin Khoja. He was an outstanding patriot who defended the unification of China throughout his life and was crowned as king by the Qing Dynasty. It was Suleman, his second son that built this minaret with his own money of nearly 300 kilograms of silver. This is the reason why the minaret is also named Su Gong Ta. Upon Emin's death, Suleman inherited his father's rank and became the second Turpan ruler.
