Changzhi South Mosque

📜 About & history

Changzhi South Mosque, on Nantou Lane off West Street in Changzhi, was founded in the early Ming dynasty, rebuilt in 1658 (15th year of the Qing Shunzhi era) and repaired many times since. Its roughly 11.8-mu compound follows a traditional courtyard plan; the palace-style prayer hall, enlarged in 1987, holds about 1,000 worshippers, and the wooden platform in front of it is joined entirely by mortise and tenon without iron nails. In 1932 Imam Wan Chongli hosted Hui public lectures here. The congregation numbers over 1,200 Hui households, about 6,000 people.
