📜 About & history
Originally named the Guangyiqiao Mosque and also called the Hankou Grand Mosque, this is the oldest, largest and best-preserved of Wuhan's surviving mosques. Hui Muslims settled around the Guangyiqiao area of Hankou in the Kangxi era, and a mosque was first built here during the Yongzheng reign, about 1726. It was destroyed by fire in 1911 and rebuilt, then rebuilt again as a brick-and-timber structure when Minquan Road was widened around 1930; it was enlarged in 1986. Today it is a five-storey Arab-style building of about 940 square metres, with a third-floor prayer hall of 360 square metres that can hold around 500 worshippers.
🕌 Prayer & visiting
The five daily prayers are held here, with a large Friday (Jumu'ah) congregation around midday in the third-floor prayer hall. Seasonal times are posted inside.
