📜 About & history
South Street (Nanjie) in the old Guanxian town of Dujiangyan - famed for its two-millennia-old irrigation system - was long a Hui Muslim residential quarter, home to Hui-run clothing, copperware and halal food shops as well as this mosque, built at the end of the Ming dynasty and rebuilt in the early Qing. Its architecture centres on a prayer hall within a traditional Chinese siheyuan courtyard, and one of its wooden plaques bears the inscription '世守良规' ('forever upholding fine tradition'), presented by a Qing-dynasty prince. Nearby Baoping Lane is also home to the Maogong Mosque, built in a Central Asian-influenced style. Today the city's Muslim community numbers about 1,480 adherents, all of Hui ethnicity.
🕌 Prayer & visiting
Open for the five daily prayers, Friday Jumu'ah and festival prayers for the local Hui community; modest dress is expected of visitors.
