Kowloon Mosque & Islamic Centre

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:53:07

This structure, with its dome and carved marble, is Hong Kong's largest mosque. It serves the territory’s 70,000-odd Muslims, more than half of whom are Chinese, and accommodates up to 3000 worshippers. The mosque was originally established to serve the Indian Muslim troops of the British army who were stationed at what is now Kowloon Park. Muslims are welcome to attend services, but non-Muslims should ask permission to enter. Remember to remove your footwear.
