📜 About & history

Xuanhua South Mosque on Miaodi Street, Xuanhua District, is the oldest and largest surviving mosque in northern Yan (north Hebei). Founded in 1403 (1st year of the Ming Yongle era), its present layout dates from its relocation in 1820. Facing east on a 4,400-square-metre site, it has along its axis a gate hall, stone arch bridge, call-to-prayer tower, a 662-square-metre prayer hall and a 17.6-metre octagonal moon-viewing tower. It was fully restored in 2004–2006 and is a district-level protected heritage site.
