📜 About & history
Islam came to modern Qingdao with Hui migrants in the early 20th century; in 1929 Imam Wang Wanying, Mu Huating and others raised funds to convert a two-storey building at 9 Changzhou Road into the city's first mosque, which served for nearly eighty years. As the community outgrew it, a new, fully modern mosque was built on about 15 mu of land granted by the municipality on Tong'an Road; it was completed in 2006 and opened on 3 September 2007, when the Changzhou Road mosque closed. The present mosque at 562 Tong'an Road is now the main place of worship for Qingdao's Muslim community. The former Changzhou Road building survives as a listed historic structure.
🕌 Prayer & visiting
Qingdao's principal mosque, holding the five daily prayers and the Friday congregational prayer, with large gatherings on the two Eids; it also serves the city's foreign Muslim visitors and residents.
