Liupowu South Street Mosque

📜 About & history

Liupowu South Street Mosque is on Liupowu South Street west of Yangxin County town, Binzhou, Shandong. Founded in the Wanli era of the Ming dynasty, its main building joins three halls end to end into a square plan 18.6 m on each side and 12 m high, earning it the name "piggyback hall". The front hall bears a plaque reading "Qingzhen Si" in regular script and Arabic couplets; ancillary buildings include a facing hall, nine rooms of north and south lecture halls and six ablution rooms. It was repaired five times up to 1981, and in 2000 the management committee raised funds from local Muslims for a full rebuilding on the original foundations.
