Nanguan Mosque, Islamic religious complex in Xingqing District, China.

Nanguan Mosque is a mosque in Xingqing District, Yinchuan, Ningxia. The building rebuilt in 1981 covers 2,074 square metres on two floors: the upper floor is the main prayer hall for more than 1,300 worshippers, and the lower floor holds ablution rooms, a small prayer hall, a women's prayer hall, an Arabic-language school, the imam's room, offices and a reception room. Two minarets 30 metres high stood on either side.

The mosque was first built in the late Ming dynasty and destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. In 1981 local Muslims raised funds to rebuild it in an Arabic style, with a 2,074 m² two-storey building and 30 m minarets. After Xi Jinping's June 2020 visit to Ningxia, authorities removed the dome and minarets as part of a "sinicisation" campaign.

The name refers to the south gate area of Yinchuan's old city, where the mosque has long served as the Hui community's religious centre. On Fridays and festivals such as Eid, worshippers gather here for services. The rebuilt complex sets a women's prayer hall on the lower floor, separate from the main hall above.

The prayer halls are open to visitors, but you should know that active prayer times may limit access to some areas for tourists. It helps to wear respectful clothing and ask staff about guidelines when you arrive.

The 1981 rebuilding was paid for by donations from local Muslims, and the prayer hall on the upper floor holds more than 1,300 worshippers at once. The two minarets flanking the building stood 30 metres high until they were dismantled in the "Sinicisation" renovations that followed Xi Jinping's June 2020 visit to Ningxia.
