Huaisheng Mosque, Ancient mosque in Guangzhou, China
The Huaisheng Mosque stands in the Yuexiu District of Guangzhou, featuring a 36-meter-tall cylindrical minaret built with traditional Chinese construction methods.
The mosque traces its origins to the Tang Dynasty in 627 CE when Arab traders established it as one of the first Islamic places of worship in China.
The mosque combines Chinese architectural elements with Islamic designs, reflecting the religious needs of Muslim merchants who traveled along maritime trade routes.
The mosque opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM except on Fridays, with separate prayer areas for men and women during religious ceremonies.
The minaret served as a lighthouse for ships navigating the Pearl River, using its illuminated tower to guide vessels through maritime trading routes.
