Located on Guangta Lu, Huaisheng Mosque
(Huaisheng guangtisi) was the first mosque to be built in
China. It currently boasts over 40 prayer mats in Chinese and
Arabic dating from the Tang Dynasty to the fall of the feudal
empires.
Many Muslims believe a temple was first
constructed here in the 7th Century. The Mosque is held in
high regard by Muslims today. The Mosque is not usually open
to non-Muslims but the building's impressive symmetrical
architecture is worth admiring from outside.
Address: 56 Guangta Lu How to get
there: Take bus No.31 from the Railway Station to Ximenkou or
