Tianjin Great Mosque, Historical mosque in Hongqiao District, China.

The Tianjin Great Mosque extends across 5,000 square meters and features four principal structures including the Prayer Hall, Preaching Hall, Screen Wall, and Archway.

Built in 1644 during the early Qing Dynasty, the mosque underwent reconstruction in 1801 and maintains its status as a primary Islamic center in northern China.

The mosque displays 61 decorative plaques and couplets combining Arabic and Chinese inscriptions, representing the integration of both cultural traditions in its design.

The Prayer Hall accommodates over 1,000 worshippers at once, while visitors can explore the courtyard and observe the architectural details from the exterior.

Two miniature versions of the Quran, sized comparable to a matchbox, are preserved within the mosque as part of its collection of religious artifacts.
