The An-Nur Tongkang Mosque (Chinese: 東港清真寺; pinyin: Dōnggǎng Qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in Donggang Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan. It is the eighth and latest mosque built in Taiwan. It is also the first mosque in Pingtung County.[2][3]
History
The mosque originally started inside a rented house at 34-1 Fengyu Street (豐漁街) in Donggang Township,[4] in which most of the worshipers are Indonesian fishermen from the area. After enough funds were collected, worshipers had the idea to purchase the rented house and convert it into a mosque. Due to the reluctance of the house owner to sell it, worshipers had to look for a different house. They finally found one nearby the first house in Xingyu Street (興漁街), which is still located within the same township, and purchased it for an amount of NT$5.4 million. It was then renovated for a cost of NT$1 million with the addition of a wudu area and some air conditioning systems. It was eventually turned into the mosque.[1] The mosque was officially opened on 18 February 2018.[5][6][7]
Architecture
The mosque is located on the third floor of a 3-story house building with a capacity of 120 worshipers.[1]
Facilities
