Liutang Mosque

📜 About & history

Liutang Mosque on Xishui Street, Liutang Town, Lingui District, Guilin, was founded in the Qing Qianlong era and rebuilt several times, in the Daoguang era, in 1869 and in 1884. In 2009 it was listed in the sixth batch of protected cultural relics of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The 3.7-mu complex, with 1,700 square metres of buildings, has three courtyards five bays wide, built of grey brick and tile with timber columns on stone bases; the prayer hall of about 300 square metres has walls carved with Quranic du'a windows and 100 "shou" (longevity) characters. A stele of 1900 records how the Muslim Song Honggao donated land to support the mosque. It is one of the largest and most representative surviving mosques in Guangxi.
