Lansi Mosque

Lansi Mosque was first built in 1912 at the initiative of Imam Wu Junming and funded by the local Hui community. The mosque is located on the west side inside the south gate of Lansi Town. At that time, it consisted of five blue-brick, fish-scale, crescent-tile-roofed houses, including two prayer halls, one washroom, and one imam’s office. There was also one storage shed on the west side of the tiled-roof houses. In front of the mosque buildings there was a 2,700-square-meter garden, and the total area covered approximately 4.6 mu. In the spring of 1967, due to years of disrepair, parts of the mosque building collapsed. The Hui community rebuilt it independently, converting it into four flat-roofed houses with blue-brick walls.

During the Cultural Revolution, 1,700 square meters of the garden were allocated by the housing department to private individuals for residential construction. In 1991, the county government funded the reconstruction. The new mosque is built with precast bricks, with a total floor area of nearly 300 square meters, including a prayer hall covering over 80 square meters. Lansi County has a Hui population of more than 200, all of whom follow the Gedimu school. The mosque currently does not have a formal imam.
