Chai Wan Mosque, Mosque in Chai Wan, Hong Kong, China.

Chai Wan Mosque, also called Cape Collinson Mosque, is Hong Kong's fifth mosque, opened on 4 August 1963. Its main space holds three prayer halls finished in white marble, and a sahn courtyard outside the halls serves small religious gatherings.

Chai Wan Mosque opened on 4 August 1963, built by the British Hong Kong government on land at Cape Collinson as compensation for the resumption of a cemetery and small mosque in Ho Man Tin that year. It was initially used mainly for funeral prayers, and regular prayers began only as Muslim families settled in Chai Wan. The Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong renovated the whole building in 2005, and on 17 May 2010 the Antiquities and Monuments Office advisory board graded it a Grade III historic building.

The mosque opened on 4 August 1963 mainly for funeral prayers, since its isolated Cape Collinson site had no Muslim residents apart from a caretaker. As Muslim families settled in Chai Wan, daily prayers began there. The sahn outside the prayer halls is used for small religious gatherings.

This place is located near Chai Wan MTR station and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should dress respectfully and be aware that prayer times structure the daily activities throughout the year.

The mosque stands beside the Cape Collinson Muslim cemetery, the reason it was built: it opened on 4 August 1963 mainly to serve funeral prayers, and regular daily worship began only after Muslim families settled in Chai Wan. It was listed as a Grade III historic building on 17 May 2010.
