Shouxian Mosque
寿县清真寺
An old mosque in the southwest of the ancient town, built in traditional Chinese hall style with exquisite brick and wood carvings; an important Islamic heritage building in northern Anhui.
Shou County Mosque lies in the southwestern part of the old town and is one of the older mosques in northern Anhui. Its buildings follow traditional Chinese hall architecture, and the prayer hall, Moon-Watching Tower and courtyard layout are well preserved. The brick and wood carvings are worth a close look. The mosque is still in use, so dress modestly and avoid prayer times. Whether the inner prayer hall is open depends on the mosque's arrangements. A tour takes about 30 minutes and can be combined on foot with the Confucian Temple and the Dinghu Gate on the west side. Nearby are Shouxian beef soup shops and other Muslim snack stalls.
