📜 About & history

Shenzhen Mosque, completed in 2013 with a total area of about 3,000 square metres, is the largest mosque in Shenzhen and the seat of the Muslim Association of Shenzhen. Built in Islamic architectural style, it comprises the main prayer hall, ancillary buildings, wudu areas and a garden. As a relatively new mosque in one of China's youngest and most cosmopolitan cities, it serves a diverse community of local Hui, Chinese Muslims from across the country, and a large international population of traders, students and professionals. It has become a key gathering point for Muslims in the Guangdong tech-and-trade hub. Friday and festival prayers draw worshippers of many nationalities.
