📜 About & history

Gushi Chengguan Mosque (its former name; now registered as the Dongguan Subdistrict mosque) stands at the northwest corner of Liaobei Road and Liangshan Street in the east of Gushi County town, Henan. Founded in the early Qing dynasty more than 300 years ago and originally called the "East Ancient Mosque", it has a five-bay timber prayer hall, a moon-watching tower and ancillary buildings on a five-mu site, with two resident imams. Occupied by the county chemical plant during the Cultural Revolution, which damaged the buildings, it was reopened and restored in 1985, when the county also allotted 35 mu of land for a Hui cemetery.
