There is an estimated Muslim population of 85,000 in Shanghai, China
and 10 ethnic groups adopting Islam as their religion. As history
recorded, Islam was first introduced into Shanghai during the Yuan
Dynasty (1341-1868) when Muslims in the Yuan army settled in the
Songjiang District. When Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), there are some Muslim
generals stationed in Jinshanwei and Jiading around Shanghai. To
strengthen the coastal areas, the Ming government had migrated about
2,000 Muslims of Hui minority to the coastal area of Shanghai
Jinshanwei. This incident led to the building of a mosque in Qingpu
County.
Among those mosques built in Shanghai, Songjiang Mosque is
the oldest one to be constructed during the Yuan Dynasty. Other major
mosques in Shanghai include Xiaotaoyuan Mosuqe, Huxi Mosque, Pudong
Mosque, Fuyou Road Mosque, Xiaotaoyuan Female Mosque and Songjiang
