Taipei Grand Mosque
About the Mosque
Taipei Grand Mosque is the oldest and largest Islamic place of worship in Taiwan. Travelers visit primarily to view its traditional architecture—notably its green dome and minarets—and to learn about the island's Islamic community.
Getting There
The site is located in central Taipei. From Taipei Main Station, take the MRT Red Line to Daan Park Station, followed by an approximate 10-minute walk south along Xinsheng South Road. The total journey from the city center takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes.
Suggested Duration
Allow about 30 to 45 minutes on site to view the exterior structure, walk through accessible public areas, and read informational displays.
When to Visit
Weekday mornings and early afternoons are generally quiet. The facility becomes crowded during Friday midday congregational prayers, which can restrict interior access for non-worshipping visitors. Modest attire covering shoulders and knees is required when entering.
