Xiaohuicun Mosque in Tonghai County, Yuxi

According to oral tradition, Xiaohuicun Mosque (小回村清真寺) was first built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

Renovation and Reconstruction

Xiaohuicun Mosque (小回村清真寺) underwent multiple renovations and expansions. In the 1970s, a major earthquake struck Tonghai (通海), severely damaging the mosque, causing the prayer hall to sink. During the Cultural Revolution, auxiliary rooms, platforms, and preaching stages were destroyed or converted into storage facilities. After the mosque was returned to the community, villagers raised funds on their own to carry out repairs and expansions.
Renovations were conducted in 1972, 1975, and 1979. In 1983, five new prayer halls were added.
