Leshan Street Mosque

📜 About & history

Leshan Street Mosque is on Leshan Street, Cizhou Town, Ci County, Hebei. Built in 1918 on about 0.3 mu, it has a three-bay prayer hall, five lecture rooms and three ablution rooms. Its story begins in the Qing Tongzhi era, when Hui from Qiu County fled a disaster and settled in Ci County; as their numbers grew in the early Republic they set up a place of worship, later run by the Hui Progress Association, which also opened a school. In 1918 magistrate Liu Mengyang donated funds and urged its rebuilding, and Imam Wang Chaoqing raised money in Hebei and Shandong to complete it; a commemorative stele was inscribed in 1922. Damaged in the Cultural Revolution, it was restored with government funds in 1981, and a democratic management committee has run it since 1983.
