China

Temple, Mosque sights in China

  1. Guāndì Temple & Hui Mosque

    Just west of Five Dragon Pool Park's entrance survives the small Guāndi Temple where fortunes are told in Chinese (Y10) and the great protector glares out over a row of flickering candles in the main shrine. In the centre of town is a lovely Chinese-style mosque that dates from the late 13th century; a Hui (Muslim Chinese) area stretches north, with butchers, vegetable markets, mosques and kebab stalls.
