Check out these 13 real-life photos exploring the Taoshuping Mosque nestled in the mountains of Donggang Town, Chengguan District, Lanzhou. This grassroots mosque was built through the joint fundraising efforts of local Hui Muslims, quietly standing right by Beizhan Road in Hongshangens to showcase its unique architectural layout and down-to-earth community vibe.
If you make a right turn uphill from the Taoshuping gas station in Donggang Town, Lanzhou, and head just a bit down Beizhan Road toward Hongshangen along Taoshuping, you will hit the entrance of the mosque. Honestly, if you didn't ask a local, you'd never find it—even though if you stand right outside the main hall of the Donggang Mosque down at the foot of the mountain, you can actually see this mosque up on Taoshuping mountain across the way.
The Taoshuping Mosque is a multi-menhuan (Sufi order) mosque mainly rooted in the Jahriyya tradition, meaning it follows Jahriyya practices during spiritual devotion, though it isn't under the direct management of Lanzhou's Dong Da Gongbei. The local jama'at (congregation) runs on a pretty tight budget, which you can easily tell just by looking at the modest scale of the mosque and the financial capacity of the local community.
The Taoshuping Mosque is located in Taoshuping, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. Tucked away far from the noisy downtown, it leans against the Gaolan Mountain range to the south, overlooks the eastward flow of the Yellow River to the north, and gazes out at the Lanzhou city skyline to the west, all surrounded by lush green trees—making it a super peaceful and clean spot.
The mosque was first built back in 1956, and after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Party, they rebuilt the main prayer hall, scripture study rooms, ablution water rooms, and dormitories. It’s a smaller mosque built upon the initiative and care of Elder Liu, set up simply to make daily religious life more convenient for the local Muslim community, featuring a simple flat-roofed main prayer hall.
The entire mosque covers an area of about 1 mu (around 667 square meters), with the main prayer hall taking up 60 square meters, bringing the total building area of the complex to 1,000 square meters. It serves 42 households totaling 160 people, all of whom are Hui Muslims following the Jahriyya religious traditions. view all
