Tuqiao Upper Mosque

土桥清真上寺
📍 Chengdu · Jinniu District 🏛️ 1791 (Qing Qianlong 56)

📜 About & history

The Tuqiao Upper Mosque stands in the Tuqiao community of Jinniu District, historically a Hui village on Chengdu's northwest edge. It was built in 1791 during the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty by about fifty local Muslim families; the nearby Tuqiao Lower Mosque, dating from the earlier Yongzheng era, distinguishes the two. It was listed as a Jinniu District cultural relic protection unit in 1984 and reinforced in 2002. A new Chinese-style gateway was added in 2018 and a full 8-million-yuan restoration of the prayer hall and other buildings was carried out from 2022.
