Zhongfang Mosque

📜 About & history

Zhongfang Mosque, originally called the Local Mosque, is the oldest Hui mosque in Wusu and stands on the west side of Minsheng Street. Founded in 1758 (22nd year of the Qing Qianlong era) in Xihu Township, it moved to its present site after collapsing in the Jiaqing era and was rebuilt four times; in 1905 it was named the "Middle Mosque" because it lay between the Shaanxi Grand Mosque and the North Mosque. The present buildings date from the fourth rebuilding in 1982, on a 2,332-square-metre site, with a 21-metre minaret and room for 300 worshippers.
