Located around one kilometer north of Surabaya's City Hall, Muhammad Cheng Hoo Mosque is easy to find. Despite its secluded location away from the main road, people can immediately identify it. "It looks more like a temple than a mosque," said Gunawan Hidayat, also known as Tjio Kay Hie, a member of the congregation.
Cheng Hoo Mosque was built on March 2002 with a distinct architectural mix of Chinese and Islamic features. The main part of the mosque is slightly higher compared to the left and right foyer. On the west side of the building, there is a miniature of an ancient Chinese sailing vessel, placed next to a medium sized bedug (drum).
