Other visitors' reviews of Huaisheng Mosque
Show More ReviewsA small mosque and very different from most mosque because it is built in traditional Chinese style in 627. Even the minaret is different. This minaret used to serve as a navigational guide in the early days. It is an active mosque so be aware of Muslims who pray in the prayer hall which is out of bound for non prayers. This is the oldest mosque in China so you should pop in if you are in the neighborhood.
