台北旅游网

The Republic of China on Taiwan has a long history o religious toleration. There are many Musslims in Taipei, to whom the mosque ministers. Friday prayers are popular.

中華な建物が多いなかで、突然スルタン調の建物が出てきます。自由に入れますが、夜は閉まっていました。インドネシア系イスラムの方がたくさん付近にいました。

台北に滞在中、街中を散策していた時にこちらのモスクを見つけて見学しました。台湾の寺院がき鮮やかでらびやかなのと対照的に静かで落ち着いた雰囲気でした。ドーム屋根がモスクらしさを表していました。

This mosque is the biggest and most famous mosque in Taiwan. It was built according to Arabic architecture. The original building is from the late 40's but the current one is from 1960. The mosque has suffered damage from the earthquake and lack of maintenance and support. It's in a poor condtion. There is a renovation project on the way with support of the local government. So, I hope when I visit the mosque next time it would be in a better condition.

Lovely atmosphere for Friday prayers. I particularly liked the food offering in the attached hall - a real community atmosphere and reasonably priced Halaal food.
