📜 About & history

Sanmin Hutong Mosque, originally the Phoenix Mosque, is at 26 Sanmin Hutong, Gulou District, Kaifeng. It was founded in the early Ming dynasty, reportedly built by Zhu Yuanzhang to reward Hui generals. Known in the Qing as Caosanting Mosque, it was rebuilt in the Jiaqing and Guangxu eras; its main surviving building dates from 1897, with a roof of green glazed tiles inlaid with yellow ones. It took its present name from the Three Principles of the People in the Republican period.
