This is alist of notable mosques in China. Amosque is a place of worship for followers of the religion ofIslam. The first mosque in China was theHuaisheng Mosque in Guangzhou, built during theTang dynasty in 627 CE. In of 2014 there were 39,135 mosques in China,^[1][2] in 2009 an estimated 25,000 of these were inXinjiang, a north-westautonomous region, having a high density of one mosque per 500 Muslims.^[3]

In China, mosques are calledQīng Zhēn Sì (清真寺, "Temples of the Pure Truth"), a name which was also used byChinese Jews forsynagogues. Other names includeHuí Huí Táng (回回堂, "Hui people's hall"),Huí Huí Sì (回回寺, "Hui people's temple"),Lǐ Bài Sì (礼拜寺, "Temple of worship"),Zhēn Jiào Sì (真教寺, "Temple of the True Teaching") orQīng Jìng Sì (清净寺, "Pure and clean temple").^[4][5]

During theQing dynasty, at the mosque entrance of Hui Mosques, a tablet was placed upon which "Huáng Dì Wàn Suì, Wàn Suì, Wàn Wàn Suì" (皇帝萬歲，萬歲，萬萬歲) was inscribed, which means, "The Emperor, may he live forever". Wansui meansTen thousand years, which means forever in Chinese.^[6] Westerners traveling in China noted the presence of these tablets at mosques inYunnan andNingbo.^[7][8][9]

Most mosques have certain aspects in common with each other however as with other regions Chinese Islamic architecture reflects the local architecture in its style. China is renowned for its beautiful mosques, which resemble temples. However, in western China the mosques resemble those of Iran and Central Asia, with tall, slender minarets, curvy arches and dome shaped roofs, as well as the unique multi-layered portals. In northwest China where the ChineseHui have built their mosques, there is a combination of eastern and western styles. The mosques have flared Buddhist style roofs set in walled courtyards entered through archways with miniature domes andminarets.^[10]
