I was surprised at the size of the grounds. They are lovely gardens with lots of birds singing. It is like you are not in the city. There is a small market nearby More

The Mosque is an oasis in the city centre, with structures dating back 700 years. The Mosque remains the centre of one of the largest muslim communities in China. There is a small fee for admission. Surrounding the Mosque are a number of markets. The first market, along the pedestrian pathway leading directly to the Mosque is to be avoided... More

The mosque has a unique design compared to all the other mosques I have ever seen. It has been built in complete Chinese style and beautiful gardens and wood carvings. According to me it is far more impressive tham the terra cota soldiers. Unfortunately, the imam of the mosque does not allow non-muslims into the prayer buildings, which has Kuran... More

The gardens here are extraordinarily lovely and if you pursue them to the end you will find a mosque which you may not enter but if the call to prayer is imminent you will witness the scurrying of many Chinese men in white caps who enter to pray. More

The mosque is not like any other mosque I have ever seen in my life. It is completely Chinese and you almost do not find any Arabian influences in the architechture. It was ok to visit especially the walk towards it while you have to go inside a small market selling all kinds of small souveniers. If you don't have... More
