Overview
The Tainan Mosque is an active Islamic worship center located in the East District of Tainan, Taiwan. It serves the religious and social needs of the local Muslim community. Travellers visit to see an example of Islamic architecture in southern Taiwan or to find a quiet space during their travels.
