Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque, Islamic mosque in Qingyang District, Chengdu, China
Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque blends Arabic architectural features with Ming and Qing dynasty styles across its entrance structures, gates, and buildings. The complex includes a main prayer hall, library, and supporting spaces designed to serve religious and community needs.
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.
A Qing dynasty tablet above the second gate displays four Chinese characters reading "Kai Tian Gu Jiao," meaning "the most ancient religion." This inscription reflects the long history of Islam at this location.
