First established in 1917, and renovated in 1925, today Xiao Taoyuan is a functioning mosque which also serves as the headquarters of the Shanghai Islamic Association. Located at Xiaotaoyuan Street in southern Shanghai, it is the largest Mosque in Shanghai. As the gate of the temple faced the Xiao Taoyuan Steer, it got the name.


The Mosque features the Islamic architectural style in West Asia, holding four religion architectures with dome. In side the gate there is a rectangular courtyard. On the west side of the hall stands the great worship hall of 500 square meters, which can hold 200 worshipers. The main architecture is the Chapel Audience Hall with flat roof. In the middle of the flat roof there is a Wangyue Pavilion erecting Xingyuexuan as the sign of Moalem. A three-storeyed hall building stands on the eastern side of the courtyard, and there is a library and a reading room on the second and the third floor respectively, and a sermon room on the first floor. There are the Imam's room, reception rooms, and bathroom on the southern side of the courtyard.
