Wangjialou Mosque

王家楼清真寺
📍 Zhangjiakou · Huailai County 🏛️ Mid-Qing dynasty

📜 About & history

Wangjialou Mosque is in Wangjialou Hui Township, Huailai County, Hebei, and was founded in the mid-Qing dynasty. Some buildings were rebuilt in 1985, and the present gatehouse and screen wall date from after worship resumed. The mosque covers about 2 mu; its prayer hall stands on a raised platform with a traditional Chinese porch-and-ridge roof, and later glass doors and windows were fitted to let in more light. Its stelae were destroyed in the Cultural Revolution, which limits what is known of its history. The congregation numbers 76 Hui households (577 people). The village lies north of the Beijing–Baotou railway, 15 km from Huailai county town, with the Sha–Chi Road running through it.
