The Xiaotaoyuan Mosque Chinese: 小桃园清真寺; pinyin: Xiǎotáoyuán Qīngzhēnsì, formerly known as Islamic Western Mosqueor Shanghai Western Mosque, is a mosque in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China. It is the largest mosque in Shanghai. The Xiaotaoyuan Mosque was originally built in 1917 by Jin Ziyun, the Director of the Shanghai Islamic Board of Directors, who had bought the land. It was then rebuilt in 1925 and completed two years later in the shape it is today. The site of the mosque was the original site for the Shanghai Islamic Normal School which was later moved to Qinglian Street and renamed Pingliang Islamic Normal School. Other schools established by the mosques were the Islam Normal School, Primary School for Muslims, Mingcheng Primary School, Chongben Primary School, Shanghai Islam Orphanage etc. After the founding of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949, Shanghai Mayor Chen Yi inspected the mosque and approved appropriate funds for its maintenance. On 15 February 1994, the mosque was listed as heritage architecture by the Shanghai Municipal Government.

Alhamdulillah, I had a great opportunity to have a Jummah here in xiaotaoyuan mosque in shanghai. which is one of the oldest mosque. reached early worrying that i may miss the prayer. serene location, people are very much friendly. I have seen and interacted with many muslims of different country there. The Halal food was awesome and a small market adjacent to the masjid for jummah visitors. Inshaallah looking forward to perform more jummah and regular prayers there.
