Cheng Ho Mosque Palembang
Masjid Al Islam Muhammad Cheng Ho Sriwijaya
A mosque for Chinese Muslims in the Jakabaring area, whose red-and-green pagoda-style minarets blend Chinese and Islamic architecture.
The Cheng Ho Mosque was built by Palembang's Chinese Muslim community and completed around 2008. It is named after Zheng He, the Ming-dynasty navigator who visited Palembang several times with his fleets. The building blends Chinese traditional and Islamic styles. Its two five-story pagoda-style minarets are red and green, with upturned eaves, and the interior is decorated in both Chinese and Arabic. It is located near Jakabaring Sport City and can be visited together with it. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times. Dress modestly and remove your shoes before entering the prayer hall.
