Changsha Mosque, Religious complex in Tianxin District, Changsha, China
Changsha Mosque is a religious structure located in Tianxin District on Mount Huilong, containing multiple buildings dedicated to worship and community activities. The complex includes a three-story prayer hall, pavilions, and various support facilities for daily use.
The mosque was founded in 1711 by merchants from Henan and Shaanxi provinces who established a place of worship in the city. The building underwent major restoration in 1985 to preserve and improve its condition for future generations.
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.
The complex is well connected by public transportation with several bus routes providing access to the area. Visitors should respect prayer times and local customs when planning their visit to the site.
In the 1930s, the site housed the Jingling School, blending religious practice with educational activities for local students. This dual purpose reflected how the building served broader community needs beyond just worship.
