📜 About & history

Huolianzhai Mosque stands among the housing of Yingzi New Village in Huolianzhai Hui and Manchu Town, Xihu District, Benxi. Traditionally said to have been begun in 1610 and completed in 1619 in the Ming Wanli era, it is the oldest mosque in the Benxi area. Its buildings - over 616 square metres arranged as an east-facing courtyard with a prayer hall, moon-watching tower and north lecture hall - follow their Qing-dynasty layout. The general Zuo Baogui presented it with a plaque in 1894. It was listed in May 2007 among Benxi's seventh batch of municipal protected sites and was restored in 2008 and 2016.
