Huxi Mosque (West Shanghai Mosque)

沪西清真寺
📍 Shanghai · Putuo District 🏛️ 1922

📜 About & history

In 1914 poor Muslims from Hubei, Shandong, Henan and Anhui came to work in Shanghai's International Settlement and settled around Xiaoshadu Road (today's Xikang Road), where Hubei Muslims set up a temporary prayer room in Yaoshui Lane. A mosque was completed in Yaoshui Lane in 1922, first called the Xiaoshadu Mosque and later the Yaoshui Lane Mosque. It was repaired in 1945 after the War of Resistance against Japan and renamed Huxi (West Shanghai) Mosque. Religious activity resumed in 1979. Because of redevelopment of the Yaoshui Lane area it was relocated in 1990, and the rebuilt mosque on Changde Road, Putuo District, was completed in April 1992 under the same name. Bai Runsheng has served as its imam since 1992.
