Dunhuang Mosque, Islamic prayer center in Dunhuang, China.

The mosque contains a main hall facing east with two side halls, incorporating a two-story building for imam accommodations at the back.

The original structure from the Ming Dynasty underwent complete reconstruction in 1917, marking a new chapter in the religious life of Dunhuang.

The mosque follows the Sunni tradition of Islam, providing a central gathering space for religious practices and social interactions among Muslims.

The building accommodates 100 worshippers and maintains separate sections with closed walls on its north and south sides for religious purposes.

Located at the intersection of the Silk Road routes, this mosque reflects the adaptation of Islamic architectural elements within Chinese surroundings.
