📜 About & history
Jianguo Mosque began as the Huashen nunnery, founded in 1670 (9th year of the Qing Kangxi era); when its last nun died, the property was given to the Hui community, who converted it into a mosque. It stands on Jianguo Street in Xinhua District and took its present name in 1989. The site covers 1,400 square metres with 615 square metres of buildings in classical Chinese style, including a prayer hall and an opposite hall, and serves over 2,000 Muslims. In 2016 the repair of its main hall became a municipal heritage project.
