The mosque is included in the Daan District Taipei city. Taipei City Government mosque was inaugurated on June 26, 1999.

Migration Migration of people from one area to another almost always be one important factor in the spread of religion, especially Islam. Migration is not just a movement of people, but also socio-cultural traditions and religion they hold and live. And development of Islam in Taiwan in relation to migration is very interesting. I see these symptoms when a few days after Idul Fitri Festival in 1427 and then attended the Feast of Fast Indonesian Community in Daan Park Taipei, Taiwan. Society''Indonesia''in this event is none other is nearly 100 percent of Indonesian workers (TKI), who came from Taipei, and other cities such as Kaohsiung and Longgang. According to estimates, the GCC Salahudding Ma Chao, board Taipei Grand Mosque, about 20 thousand workers attended the festival, which filled the religious lectures of four members of the delegation from Indonesia. At the invitation of the Asia Foundation in Taiwan (AFIT), I (in his position as rector of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta) with Dr. Endang Zainudin (NU), Dr. Anisah Basleman (al-Ershad) and Surya Madya (Yayasan Haji Karim Oei), the opportunity is well met, giving religious lectures, and dialogue not only with the workers, but also with Muslim religious leaders and Taiwan, including the imam and preacher of the original Chinese. Islamic history in Taiwan associated with the turmoil many combat the Kuomintang government of Chiang Kai Sek leadership (CKS) with Communist China which ended with the defeat of CKS, which makes it migrated to Taiwan in 1949 and founded the Republic of China government, which is more commonly known as Taiwan. Together CKS approximately 1.3 million people moved from mainland China to Taiwan, including approximately 20 thousands of Muslims. They are then set up two organizations The Chinese Muslim Association of Muslim Youth League and Chinese. Can imagine the difficulty of Taiwan Chinese Muslims at this early period; contacts and their relations with Muslims in the Chinese mainland is lost, and they live in a socio-cultural environment in many ways is not compatible with Islamic teachings and values. Even so, the Chinese Muslims in the 1960s eventually managed to build the Taipei Grand Mosque and the Mosque of Longgang. The second mosque architecture of the Middle East is not only a religious and social center of the Muslim Chinese culture, but also the presence of Islamic landmarks in the island of Taiwan, which now has a population of around 23 million inhabitants. Now there are six mosques in various cities around Taiwan with the Muslim population of about 50 thousand people. The presence of migrant workers who are generally Muslims immediately visible in the institutions of Islam Taiwan in terms of number alone, it is estimated there are now between 60 thousand to 70 thousand people, and most likely they were Muslim. In both of these mosques, Mosque Taipei Grand Mosque and Longgang, such as signs and instructions mosques not only in Mandarin, but also in the Indonesian language and English. Taipei Grand Mosque, the call to prayer with a beautiful tone is often chanted TKI. In fact, in Longgang Mosque, the Muslim workers had a special room of the mosque committee to conduct study and assemblies taklim. The Muslim workers, according to the mosque committee in Taipei and in Longgang, has added the splendor of Islam in Taiwan. Not infrequently they were impressed with Islamic attitudes among workers, but often they worry that the Muslim workers would erode their Islamic faith and the social environment, culture, and economy of Taiwan is basically a very permissive. The workers are not unaware of these concerns. Therefore, they formed groups waging. In fact, trying to bring Dai from the Motherland. Just unfortunately, the cost is very expensive. They told me never bring Dai from Jakarta, which brought a group of seven people who spend their wages dues from a mediocre approximately USD 200 million for tickets, accommodations, and honorariums. In fact, if preachers came one or two people only, funds expended at best just one-tenth. It turned out that we are increasingly expensive propagators only. Since going off to Taiwan, the workers are already facing severe challenges. According to them, PJTKI who sent them, for example, are not allowed to bring equipment to offer prayers. The reason, their employers are not pleased''with people''who was wrapped in white cloth. Therefore, in waging a dialogue with migrant workers at Taipei Grand Mosque, Ustadzah Anisah and Ustad Surya Madya advised to wear mukena migrant workers who are not white. Taiwan Chinese Muslims expect the birth of a new generation of leadership of those who have adequate knowledge of Islam to manage their institutions. If Islam Indonesia wants to play a bigger influence, Now is the time to make it happen with Christian friends sympathize moslem in Taiwan.
Islam in Taiwan, including the relatively small religion although embraced by enough people. The entry of Islam to Taiwan (then still called the island of Formosa) can not be separated from the history of Islam to China. Islam was introduced to China through the country's western region, coinciding with the arrival of Muslim traders in the seventh century AD who later married a local woman. Their marriage produced a new ethnic group in China called ethnic Hui. That is why at first the people of China used to call the religion of Islam with the title (Hui jiao), which means "Hui religion." But lately more people familiar with the term (YīsīlánJiao) or a "religion of Islam." In China there are about 20 million people are Muslim. Some of them later emigrated to Taiwan in the 17th century when the Muslims who live in Fujian province, located on the southern coast of China joins forces with Koxinga (ChengCheng-Kung) invade Taiwan to repel the Dutch troops who occupied the island. After the war, some troops Koxinga the Moslems there who choose to settle in Taiwan. Their descendants later married and assimilated into the local community. Some of them remain to be Muslims, while others convert. According to Professor Lien Yes Tang in his book entitled History of Taiwan (1918), although they are Muslims, Muslims who settled in the island of Formosa was not actively propagate his religion. They also did not build a mosque on the island. The second wave of arrivals of Muslims to Taiwan took place during the civil war of China in the 20th century. At that time about 20,000 soldiers and their families are pro-Muslim nationalist party Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai Shek fled to Taiwan joined in 1949, because it was not going to be in China's Communist Party-controlled mainland China. Most of them were soldiers and civil servants who come from provinces of southern and western parts of China which was inhabited Muslims, such as Yunnan, Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Gansu. During the 1950s, contact between the ethnic Hui (Muslim community) and Han ethnic groups is very limited because of differences in customs between them. Most Muslim communities rely more on their own relationships through their community meeting at a house in Lishui Road in Taipei. But when the 1960s saw the fact that Muslims are returning to mainland China is not better, contacts with ethnic Han became more frequent. Even so the interaction and mutual assistance to fellow Muslims continue to be maintained. In the 1980s, thousands of Muslims from Myanmar and Thailand have migrated to Taiwan to seek a better life. They are descendants of pro Nationalist army who fled from Yunnan province when the communists overran the mainland China. There are currently about 53 000 people Moslems, Taiwan as well as more than 80,000 Indonesian Muslims who become workers (TKI) in Taiwan. So when this (year 2007) there are about 140,000 Muslims in Taiwan. Although the development of Islam in this country is very slow but are reported each year there are approximately 100 people of Taiwan who converted to Islam, especially since marrying Muslim men.

Responding to the readiness to receive tourists, tour coordinator of the Association of Indonesian Travel (Asita) DKI Jakarta Suharno Pauline said, China surpassed Taiwan. The low interest in more tourists to Taiwan due to the price of tour packages are more expensive, which is 678 U.S. dollars for four days and three nights package. While the price of package tours to China, only 525 U.S. dollars.
In the midst of efforts to maintain its existence, Taiwan majority targeting tourists from the country's Muslim population, such as Indonesia.
