## About Xiguan Mosque

Xiguan Mosque, known locally as the “Guest Mosque” (Kesi), was first built during the Hongwu or Yongle reign of the Ming dynasty. The mosque is majestic and solemn, with a distinctive Islamic style. Its compound includes the main prayer hall, a lecture hall and other buildings, and the prayer hall can hold more than 3,000 people. Every year, over a hundred foreign Muslims visit and pray here.
Not far north of Xiguan Mosque, on the west side of Zhongshan Road, is Qiaomen Mosque, a gathering place for local Muslim worshippers.
