📜 About & history
Nansheng Mosque was one of the classical 'five holy sites' of Islam in Guangzhou, established by Hui Muslims after they resettled in the Nansheng Li area during the Qing dynasty. In 1925 Muslims founded the 'Guangdong Hui Funeral Association' (later the Guangdong Hui Mutual-Benefit Society) here. After 1949 religious activity ceased from 1958 and the buildings were rented to a factory; the structures were demolished piecemeal, and by the mid-1990s the last hall was torn down and the mosque no longer existed. Today no building survives — only the historical location off Guangta Road remains. (Included for completeness; this mosque is no longer standing.)
🕌 Prayer & visiting
No longer functioning — the mosque was demolished; there is no prayer here.

🚇 How to reach the mosque
- Line 1 Ximenkou （西门口）
- Line 6 Yide Road （一德路）
Buses serve the Guangta Road / Ximenkou area of the old city; the former mosque site is on foot from there.
From the Xiaobei Arab quarter it is about a 15-minute taxi to the Guangta Road area; note the mosque itself no longer stands — visit nearby Huaisheng or Haopan instead.
The mosque no longer exists; its former location is off Guangta Road near Ximenkou (Line 1) and Yide Road (Line 6) in the old city.
One of Guangzhou's historic five Islamic sites, but fully demolished by the mid-1990s — of historical interest only, with no building to visit. Say to a driver: 请带我去南胜清真寺遗址
