Shenyang East Mosque (Qingzhen Dongsi)

沈阳清真东寺
📍 Shenyang · Shenhe District 🏛️ 1785 (Qianlong 50)

📜 About & history

The East Mosque was Shenyang's second historic mosque, built in 1785 (Qianlong 50) as the city's Hui population grew beyond what the South Mosque could serve. A stone tablet preserved at the South Mosque, the 'Record of the Rebuilding of the Halls of Shenyang East Mosque', documents later restoration of its halls. It stands within the same historic Muslim quarter of Shenhe District as the South and North mosques. It is one of the cluster of Qing-era mosques that grew up around the old Xiaoximen (West Gate) Hui community.
