Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque, Islamic mosque in Qingyang District, Chengdu, China
Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque combines Islamic, Ming and Qing architectural styles. Its complex comprises an entrance wall, two gates, a bathroom, a library and the main prayer hall. The library holds Islamic books written in Arabic and Chinese. A tablet on the first gate bears the mosque's name, and a Qing dynasty tablet on the second gate reads Kai Tian Gu Jiao, "the most ancient religion".
An earlier mosque structure occupied this site from the 16th century before being rebuilt in 1858. The current complex was established in 1998, making this location a centuries-old center of Islamic worship.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the Muslim community to pray together and observe religious practices. It functions as a center where believers can participate in communal events and maintain their religious traditions.
The mosque is located a short walk west from Tianfu Square metro station, making it easy to reach by public transit. As an active place of worship, visitors should be aware that certain areas may have restricted access during prayer times.
The mosque's library keeps Islamic books written in both Arabic and Chinese, and the complex also houses the headquarters of the Islamic Association of Sichuan Province. The building was listed as a provincial monument of Sichuan in 1991 (No. 3-56).
