📜 About & history
Hongshuiquan Mosque is an old mosque located in Hongshuiquan Village, Hongshuiquan Township, Ping'an District, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, dating to the Qing dynasty. On 27 May 1986 it was listed among the fourth batch of Qinghai Provincial Cultural Relic Protection Units as a historic building. Detailed records of its exact founding date or the size of the Muslim community it serves are not available beyond its heritage listing.
🕌 Prayer & visiting
As a traditional village mosque, it is presumed open for the five daily prayers and Friday Jumu'ah for the local Muslim community; no documented policy on non-Muslim visitors is available, so visitors should be respectful and check with local residents before visiting.

🚇 How to reach the mosque
No direct city bus lines; a taxi or private car from central Ping'an District or Haidong city is recommended.
There is no known Arab or expatriate Muslim quarter in Haidong; broader halal amenities are found in Xining, the provincial capital, about an hour's drive away.
The rural township of Hongshuiquan is roughly a 30-45 minute drive from downtown Haidong (Ping'an District), depending on rural road conditions.
The site is rural and relatively remote; plan a daytime visit and confirm return transport in advance. Dress modestly, as this is both a protected heritage site and an active place of worship.
