Shenqiu East Mosque

📜 About & history

Shenqiu East Mosque is at 12 Menbei, Qingzhensi Street, in the east of Huaidian Town, Shenqiu County, Henan. Founded in 1928 on land donated by local Hui Ma Zhongdao and built with public funds, it covers about 1.59 mu. Its north and south courtyards hold an Arabic-style main hall, prayer hall, lecture hall, ablution rooms and a martial-arts hall. During the War of Resistance against Japan it housed the town's first Hui martial-arts school, and in 1943 it served as a relief station treating wounded soldiers of Hui anti-Japanese units. The main hall's porch has three arched doorways and a green glazed-tile roof; Imam Ma Xiaoci leads the congregation.
