Lhasa Great Mosque

Lhasa Great Mosque, Mosque near Barkhor Street, Lhasa District, China.

The Lhasa Great Mosque stands near Barkhor Street and features a three-entrance courtyard with a prayer hall, ablution facilities, and bathrooms arranged within the main structure. The layout is organized to serve both daily worship and the needs of visitors.

Kashmiri traders settled in Lhasa built the mosque in 1716, and it was expanded in 1793. Tibetan mobs destroyed it during the 1959 uprising, and it was rebuilt with donations in 1960, when a plaque reading "Qingzhen Gujiao" was hung over the prayer hall. From the Cultural Revolution until 1978 it served as a committee office and agricultural co-operative site, and Tibetan mobs burned it again during the 2008 unrest.

The mosque stands in Hebalin, a historic Hui Muslim quarter of Lhasa, at 6 Dongzisu Road. Its wooden gateway carries gilded inscriptions in Arabic, Tibetan and Chinese reading "Tibet Lhasa Great Mosque", and a plaque inscribed "Qingzhen Gujiao" (the old Islamic teaching) hangs above the prayer hall door.

Access is available during prayer times, and visitors should check opening hours before arriving. Nearby restaurants and food shops in the area serve halal food for those seeking meals.

The mosque's gate is a wooden archway facing north, inscribed in gold with its name in Arabic, Tibetan and Chinese. Inside, a plaque reading "Qingzhen Gujiao" (Islam of Old) hangs above the prayer hall, made for the 1960 reconstruction. The prayer hall rests on a one-metre platform and holds 250 worshippers.
