Great Mosque of Xi'an - Islam in Central Asia (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Built 742AD. Currently serving over 60,000 Chinese Muslims in the greater Xian area.
"Unlike the mosques common to Arab countries, the Great Mosque of Xian has neither domes nor minarets. The style is almost wholly Chinese, except for the Arabic lettering and decorations that list the 99 names of God and verses from the Koran... Although there is no minaret, the "Introspection Tower", a two story pagoda, serves the same function."
