Tianjin South Great Mosque

The South Great Mosque spans 5,000 square meters with four primary structures including a prayer hall, front hall, screen wall, and preaching hall.

The mosque emerged in 1644 during the Qing Dynasty and underwent reconstruction in 1801, maintaining its status as a central Islamic institution in Tianjin.

The prayer hall contains 61 horizontal plaques with inscriptions in Arabic and Chinese characters, created by distinguished calligraphers over three centuries.

The mosque holds religious services for over one thousand Muslims weekly, with limited access to the prayer hall for non-Muslim visitors.

The complex houses two miniature versions of the Quran, each measuring only the size of half a matchbox.
