Kuanxiang Mosque

📜 About & history

Kuanxiang Mosque, at 192 Jiefang South Road in Tianshan District, Urumqi, was founded in 1770 and has been rebuilt four times; the present two-storey building dates from 1934, with committee offices and activity rooms on the ground floor and the prayer hall upstairs, and ablution rooms in a single-storey building to the east. A new gate behind the hall carries a call-to-prayer tower facing the street, and three tiers of carved wooden flower panels survive in front of the hall. Tianshan District reinforced and conserved it in June 2018.
