Changsha Mosque, Religious complex in Tianxin District, Changsha, China

Changsha Mosque stands on Mount Huilong in Tianxin District, on a 3,948-square-metre site with 1,400 square metres of interior space. The 1985 building, in Islamic architectural style, comprises a three-storey prayer hall, a pavilion and wing rooms. It also houses the Changsha Islamic Association.

The mosque, called Kesi, was built in 1711 by merchants from Henan and Shaanxi during the Qing dynasty. In 1918 Nanjing merchants added the Jingling School to its south. The 1938 Changsha fire destroyed most buildings, which local Muslims rebuilt; the 1985 mosque on Mount Huilong replaced the old site.

The mosque serves as a gathering place for the local Muslim community, where visitors can observe prayer times and religious celebrations throughout the year. It functions as a social hub that brings people together for spiritual and communal activities.

Buses 314, 171, 139 and 108 stop at Baisha Well Bus Stop (白沙井站), which serves the mosque on Mount Huilong. The prayer hall occupies a three-storey building within the 3,948-square-metre walled site, so allow time to move between the hall, pavilion and wing rooms.

The Jingling School was added south of the mosque in 1918 by businessmen from Nanjing, not in the 1930s. The 1938 Changsha fire then destroyed most of the mosque buildings, which local Muslims rebuilt.
