Tuogu Mosque, Provincial heritage mosque in Taoyuan, China

The Tuogu Mosque spans 4,000 square meters with a main hall supported by 36 columns, measuring 15 meters wide and 18 meters deep.

Two military officers of the Qing dynasty, Ma Lincan and Ma Linchi, established this religious center in 1730 to serve the Islamic community.

The mosque integrates traditional Chinese architectural elements from the Qing period with Islamic religious requirements in its structural design.

The five-story Tower of Huanxing contains inscriptions in Chinese characters, including 'Puci Wanyou' at its central position.

During the 2014 Ludian earthquake, the mosque maintained its structural integrity without sustaining damage to its buildings.
