Traveler reviews
Salim Al-Aidaroos
★★★★★4 months agoA truly special historical place in Guangzhou. Known by many Muslims as Saad bin Abi Waqqas Mosque (Huaisheng Mosque), this site reflects the deep history of Islam in China for more than 1300 years. The architecture is unique, blending traditional Chinese design with Islamic identity. The mosque is peaceful, clean, and well maintained, with organized ablution areas and a calm prayer environment. The Light Tower (minaret) is a beautiful landmark and one of the oldest in the region. A must-visit place for Muslims and anyone interested in history and culture.
Mohammad Nadim Shaikh
★★★★★2 months agoThis is said to be the tomb of the companion of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam, Hazrat Saad bin Abi Waqas Radi Allahu Talaw Anhu, who is among those 10 fortunate ones whom Allah blessed with the happiness of being in Paradise in this world. If you come to Guangzhou, you must visit this place. After exiting Guangzhou Railway Station, on the left side, there is this mosque and tomb in front of you, Railway station is within walking distance.
