📜 About & history

Jianshui Mosque, also called the Randengsi Street Mosque, stands on Randengsi Street outside the east gate of Jianshui town. It was founded in the Huangqing era of the Yuan dynasty (1312–1313). The gate hall was built in 1710, the main hall rebuilt in 1730 and the complex enlarged in 1762. Its gate, front hall, main hall and side rooms survive; the front hall keeps its Yuan-era timber frame and the main hall has 18 carved lattice doors. It became a Jianshui county protected site in 1990 and a Honghe prefecture protected site (6th batch) in May 2012. In 2007 a new mosque was approved and built on another site.
