Acheng Mosque

Acheng Mosque

Acheng Mosque is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

Acheng Mosque is located in the Islamic Community in the southwest of Acheng City, covering an area of 9,000 square meters. It is one of China’s hundred famous mosques and the earliest Islamic temple in the Harbin area. After undergoing several renovations over the past 200 years, it has become the best-preserved ancient building in the Harbin region.

The mosque was originally constructed in the 42nd year of the Qianlong reign (1777) during the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in the 26th year of the Guangxu reign (1900). Standing 20 meters tall, it consists of three parts: the main prayer hall, the central hall, and the rolled shed. The entire structure is built entirely of blue bricks, featuring finely jointed masonry, embedded ceramic tiles, carved beams and painted rafters, upturned eaves with dougong brackets, and a silver-domed crescent. Its exquisite design and classic traditional style make it a prime example of China’s large-roof architectural style. Situated in a serene and lush environment, it serves as an important venue for Muslim activities.
