Daxu Mosque

📜 About & history

Daxu Mosque on Shengchan Xiajie in Daxu Town, Lingchuan County, was founded in 1775 (40th year of the Qing Qianlong era) with donations from local Muslims and rebuilt in the Guangxu era. The surviving prayer building is a 127-square-metre wooden two-storey structure, with the prayer hall upstairs and a hall, kitchen, bathroom and imam's rest room below. A Hui primary school was run here in the Republican era. Religious activities stopped after 1957 and the mosque was restored with government funds from 1978. Its congregation of nearly 300 households (over 2,800 people), all Hui, holds regular observances at the three main festivals and during Ramadan.
