Nanjiaojing Hutong Mosque

📜 About & history

Nanjiaojing Hutong Mosque, in the middle section of Caoshi Street in Kaifeng, was founded in the 1930s on the initiative of local Hui Liu Shengchun and others. It began in houses at the east end of Qianjiaojing Hutong; as the congregation grew, in 1937 Liu Shengchun and others engaged Imam Li Wenxue to teach, raised funds to buy back property and moved the mosque, then bought land on the present site to build a new one, turning the old site into a girls' school. Occupied as a factory during the Cultural Revolution, it was restored and reopened in 1987. Today it has a four-bay prayer hall facing east, flanked by three ablution rooms on the south and the imam's office on the north.
