📜 About & history
Jingdezhen Mosque stands on Shangling Hengxiang Lane in the old eastern quarter of Jingdezhen, China's famed porcelain capital. Written records trace the local Muslim community's origins to Hui migrants who arrived from Kaifeng, while archaeological evidence shows the above-ground structure dates at least to the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty. Excavations around the site have uncovered fragments of porcelain plates bearing Arabic 'magic square' calligraphy alongside official-kiln and export-oriented ceramics, pointing to the long-standing involvement of Muslim traders and craftsmen in Jingdezhen's fine porcelain industry and trade.
🕌 Prayer & visiting
Open for the five daily prayers and Friday Jumu'ah for the remaining local Muslim community in Jingdezhen; modest dress is expected of visitors.
