Xiazhen Mosque (Weishan)

📜 About & history

Xiazhen Mosque in Weishan County, Shandong, was first built in the Qing Qianlong era on a site by the east wall of the present county guesthouse; it now stands east of Wangzhuang Village on the northern outskirts of Xiazhen. Damaged in 1947, it was moved to its present site in 1987 with funds from the county government. The 1.3-mu complex faces south and has a gate tower, a screen house and a palace-style prayer hall with a moon-watching pavilion; the hall's walls carry passages from the Qur'an, and it holds 200 people for Friday prayers. A Qianlong-era stele recording the founding survives.
