Located on Guangta Rd, Huaisheng Mosque (Huaisheng guangtisi) was the first mosque to be built in China. It currently boasts over 40 prayer mats in Chinese and Arabic dating from the Tang dynasty to the fall of the feudal empires.

Many Muslims believe a temple was first constructed here in the 7th century. The Mosque is held in high regard by Muslims today. The Mosque is not usually open to non-Muslims but the building’s impressive symmetrical architecture is worth admiring from outside.

Address: 56 Guangta Rd.
