The An-Nur Tongkang Mosque (traditional Chinese: 東港清真寺; simplified Chinese: 东港清真寺; pinyin: Dōnggǎng Qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in the Donggang Township of Pingtung County, Taiwan.

History

The mosque started inside a rented house at 34-1 Fengyu Street (豐漁街) in Donggang Township,[1] in which most of the worshipers were Indonesian fishermen from the area.[2][3] After enough funds were collected over ten years, the community wanted to purchase the rented house and convert it into a mosque. The house owner was reluctant to sell, so the community looked for a different house. They finally found one nearby 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 and was eventually turned into a mosque with the addition of a wudu area and some air conditioning systems.[4] The mosque was officially opened on 18 February 2018.[5][6][7]

On 9 December 2018, Interior Minister Hsu Kuo-yung honored and paid tribute to the mosque founder in conjunction with the International Migrants Day for his fundraising efforts in establishing the mosque.[8]

Architecture

The mosque is located on the third floor of a three-story house building with capacity of 120 worshipers.[4][9] The mosque is also equipped with a Quran reading area and a madrasa.[4]
