Haidian Mosque

海淀清真寺
📍 Beijing · Haidian District 🏛️ Late Ming, Chongzhen era (1628–1644)

📜 About & history

Haidian Mosque was built in the late Ming dynasty during the Chongzhen reign. Before the Cultural Revolution it held a Qing-dynasty Jiaqing-era restoration stele, and at its height the mosque covered more than 30 mu with three courtyards and north and south lecture halls. From the 1950s to the 1960s religious activity ceased and the site was occupied by a printing factory; in 1980 the Haidian District government relocated the factory and gradually returned the property, after which worship resumed. When Suzhou Street was widened in 1995 the gate fell within the demolition zone, so the district government funded a rebuilt gate and further repairs.
