Saidpur, in the Nilphamari district, is one of the ancient towns of Bangladesh.

A notable architectural landmark reflecting the town’s historic charm is the "Chini Masjid" (Sugar Mosque)—often referred to by many as the "China Mosque." The mosque is located in Saidpur, 20 kilometers away from the Nilphamari district headquarters.
