Longgang Mosque, Mosque in Longgang district of Zhongli, Taiwan.
Longgang Mosque is a place of worship in Zhongli that spans two levels, with prayer rooms and spaces designed for religious activities. The building also includes residential quarters, washing facilities, and a kitchen available to the community for various needs.
The mosque was founded in 1967 by Muslims who had relocated from Burma to Taiwan and established their community here. It was among the earliest Islamic prayer sites on the island and played an important role in establishing Islam in Taiwan.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for Muslims from various backgrounds and remains central to the local Islamic community's religious life. Visitors can observe how worshippers use the space for prayer and witness the role it plays in daily spiritual practice.
Visitors interested in the architecture or religious life can visit the site, though you should show respect for prayer times and religious practices. It's helpful to check in advance when visiting is appropriate, as the space is primarily used for religious activities.
The building received a new extension in 2021, showing how the mosque continues to adapt to the needs of its growing community. This expansion reflects the site's ongoing importance to Taiwan's Muslim population.
