Historical Development
Initial Construction
Construction began in 1938, and the original total building area was not specified in square meters. During the “Cultural Revolution,” it was confiscated and converted into a collective cafeteria and warehouse.
Renovation and Reconstruction
During the “Cultural Revolution,” it was confiscated and served as a collective cafeteria and warehouse. After policies were implemented in 1978, it was returned and became a gathering place for worship and community activities. However, due to years of neglect and severe damage, coupled with an increase in the number of worshippers, the old mosque could no longer meet the needs of the community. Thus, in 1989, a new site was selected, and funding was gathered from various sources to construct a new mosque covering an area of 0.7 mu.
