📜 About & history
Anshun Mosque dates back to the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722) of the Qing dynasty, serving the Hui community that settled in Guizhou following the Mongol conquest of the Dali Kingdom in 1253 and the arrival of Muslim soldiers during early Ming military campaigns. In 1984 it was designated a city-level protected cultural relic. In 1982, the Anshun prefecture and city governments funded its reconstruction on the original site with 63,700 yuan, producing a two-story building on a 134-square-meter plot with a total floor area of 268 square meters, the ground floor serving as offices and the upper floor as the prayer hall.
