Hangzhou Mosque, Islamic worship center in Jianggan District, Hangzhou, China.
The Hangzhou Mosque is a large complex with modern Islamic architectural features located in Jianggan District. The facility sits near Hangzhou East railway station and accommodates substantial numbers of worshippers.
In 2011 the mosque entered Hangzhou's list of major construction projects; the development and reform commission approved it in 2012, and the foundation stone was laid on 12 October 2012. It was completed in 2016 and officially opened in May 2017, when the city's Muslim population had passed 20,000 and the Phoenix Mosque alone could no longer serve them. A large-scale renovation began in June 2025, removing the copper dome and minarets.
The mosque houses the offices of the Hangzhou Islamic Society, which administers it. Its two prayer halls, one for men and one for women, sit alongside rooms for ritual washing and a hall displaying Islamic culture. A separate exhibition hall presents ethnic unity and patriotic education, so the building serves religious, social and educational purposes at once.
The mosque stands south of Hangzhou East railway station, reachable on foot. It occupies a 10-mu site with five floors above ground and one below, holding separate men's and women's prayer halls on two levels plus ablution rooms. The Islamic Association of Hangzhou offices are inside, so expect administrative areas alongside worship spaces.
The facility was built with modern design combining traditional Islamic architectural principles and contemporary construction methods. This demonstrates how ancient religious traditions and new building approaches can coexist effectively.
