Phoenix Mosque, Islamic temple in Shangcheng District, China

The Phoenix Mosque spans 3,300 square meters with a worship hall of 570 square meters, incorporating traditional Chinese architectural elements into its Islamic design.

Built during the Tang Dynasty between 618 and 907, the mosque experienced destruction in the Song period before Persian settler Ala al-Din funded its repair in 1281.

The mosque serves as a central gathering point for Hangzhou Muslims, preserving twenty-one Yuan Dynasty tombstones with inscriptions in Arabic and Persian scripts.

Located at 227 Zhongshan Road in Hangzhou, visitors can reach the mosque using multiple bus lines that stop at Yao Jiang Guang Sha and Chai Duo Qiao stations.

The central prayer space features an octagonal domed area with hexagonal domes on each side, decorated with Ming Dynasty floral patterns throughout the interior.
