The Xiaolou Mosque (simplified Chinese: 小楼清真寺; traditional Chinese: 小樓清真寺; pinyin: Xiǎolóu Qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in Erqi District, Zhengzhou, in the Henan province of China.
Zhengzhou is home to a large number of Chinese Muslims who can trace their ancestries from traders, militia and officials who arrived in Henan during the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century.[1]
The mosque was constructed in the 1920s, was rebuilt in 1979, and was renovated in 1984.[2] The five-story building covers 4,000 square metres (43,000 sq ft) and includes a school that teaches Arabic.[2]
Transportation
The mosque is accessible within walking distance north of Zhengzhou railway station.[citation needed]
