Guabang Mosque

Guabang Mosque

Guabang Mosque is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Sichuan Province.

The Miyi County Mosque was originally built in the 42nd year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1703), and underwent multiple renovations during the Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang eras. It has been comprehensively restored in recent years. Currently, the mosque has an intact layout and covers an area of 1,200 square meters. Although it is a mosque, the overall architecture largely adopts the form of traditional Chinese buildings, making it a typical representation of Islamic architecture in the Panxi region. The entire mosque follows a single-courtyard quadrangle layout, with the main entrance situated on the south axis. Here stands a three-story wooden pavilion with a hexagonal pointed roof, consisting of a ground floor and two upper floors, known as the “Moon-Gazing Tower” or “Bangke Tower.” This structure is an important element in mosque architecture, traditionally used to ascend and call the faithful to prayer. The main gate is located on the ground floor of the Moon-Gazing Tower, making it the iconic building of the entire mosque.

Protected area: 10 meters east of the perimeter wall, and 5 meters west, south, and north of the perimeter wall.

Construction control zone: 50 meters beyond the protected area.
