Description: |
|
The Pudong Mosque is one of the major mosques in Shanghai. It
was rebuilt upon the Pushou Mosque. In 1935, led by an imam
named Hong Changjin, Muslims residing near Dongchang Road of
Pudong rented a house as a temporary prayer room. In 1939, the
construction started on a mosque. In 1947, the mosque was
completed. At present, the buildings of the mosque include the
prayer hall, the imam's room, etc.
In 1984, Shanghai Ethnic Affairs Commission appropriated
funds to rebuild the mosque. In June 1985, the mosque was
reopened. There is an open courtyard with a parterre in front of
the main hall that can accommodate hundreds of people.
Buildings, such as the imam's room, and the sermon hall are on
both sides of the main hall. In 1995, the mosque was moved to
Yuanshen Road. The renovated mosque covers an area of 1,650
square meters. The minaret of 36 meters high is the highest one
among those of the mosques in Shanghai. |
