From Wikipedia
The Phoenix Mosque (simplified Chinese: 凤凰寺; traditional Chinese: 鳳凰寺; pinyin: Fènghuáng Sì) is a mosque in Hangzhou, in the Zhejiang province of China. It is known for being one of the four great mosques of China. It is also one of the earliest mosque built in China. The origin of the mosque dates from the Tang or Song dynasty.
The Phoenix Mosque had been rebuilt several times. It was first destroyed around the end of Song dynasty. During the following Yuan dynasty, in 1281, the mosque was repaired under the financial assistance of Ala al-Din, a Persian settler in China. The minaret of the mosque was removed in 1928 due to the construction of adjacent roads. In 1953, the mosque underwent a complete maintenance and repair project.
The structure of the main building was heavily influenced by traditional Chinese architecture while also retaining features of Islamic architecture. The existing prayer hall was built in 1281 CE during the rule of Kublai Khan.
