Xiangchunying Mosque

Xiangchunying Mosque is a cultural tourism attraction.

According to historical records, in the early Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of five Muslim families surnamed Wu, Wang, Ma, Li, and Chang from Nanjing, Shandong, and other places joined the forces of Prince Yan, Zhu Di, serving as warriors in the “Muslim Artillery Corps.” Following Prince Yan’s northern campaigns, they arrived at Xiangchunying in 1404, established the village, and have thrived there ever since.

The mosque was originally built in 1409 AD, featuring a main prayer hall with three sections and nineteen bays, flanked by north and south lecture halls on both sides. The total construction area is 3,500 square meters, representing an ancient-style building that harmoniously blends traditional Chinese ethnic architecture with Arabic influences. The roof of the main hall is covered with decorative tiles and features upturned eaves and carved balustrades, including “a dragon plaque.” The entire mosque is majestic, stately, and grand in scale. In 1976, the Tangshan earthquake caused serious damage to the main structure of the mosque. In 1997...

...devotees raised funds to rebuild the main prayer hall, which now has a yellow glazed tile roof. The hall is supported by 36 large pillars, integrating the porch, main prayer hall, and the domed section into a cohesive whole. On the central west wall of the main prayer hall, there is a mihrab, and the main buildings have been restored to their original style and refurbished anew.
