Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre
Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre or Kowloon Mosque is one of five main mosques in Hong Kong. Located in Kowloon, in the Tsim Sha Tsui area at the intersection of Nathan Road and Haiphong Road, beside Kowloon Park, this mosque is currently the largest in Hong Kong. The mosque holds five prayers daily and is capable of accommodating up to 3,500 people. The Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre was first established in 1896 by the Hong Kong Regiment.
In the late 1970s, the building suffered structural issues due to the underground construction carried out for the Mass Transit Railway. A new mosque was built and opened on 11 May 1984 on the present site at 105 Nathan Road to replace the old one. This mosque was designed by architect I.M. The most prominent features of the building are the four 11 meters high minarets which mark the corners of the upper terrace and the extensive use of white marble on both the paving and the facade.
