Dadidong Mosque

📜 About & history

Dadidong Mosque is in Dadidong Village, Shiqiao Township, Mengcun County, Cangzhou, Hebei, on a 2.4-mu site. The original Qing-dynasty mosque was one of the places where Liu Geping, later a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, carried out underground revolutionary work; it was pulled down during the Cultural Revolution. After 1978 the village committee, supported by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, provincial and prefectural ethnic affairs bodies and the Islamic Association, spent more than a year building a new mosque to a design donated by Ma Yan of the Cangzhou Prefecture Design Institute. It was inaugurated on 25 October 1990 in a ceremony attended by Liu Geping, officials and nearly 2,000 people.
