Скачать или смотреть Great Mosque of Xi’an | A 12 Centuries old masterpiece

Hidden in the heart of Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter lies the Great Mosque of Xi’an, one of the oldest and most unique mosques in China.
Built during the Tang Dynasty (around 742 AD) and expanded through the Ming and Qing periods, this sacred complex beautifully merges Islamic faith with Chinese architectural design.

Unlike mosques elsewhere, there are no domes or minarets here — instead, you’ll find wooden pavilions, pagoda-style roofs, courtyards, and intricate calligraphy carved in both Arabic and Chinese.
The layout follows the pattern of a classic Chinese temple, with five tranquil courtyards leading to the main prayer hall.

For centuries, this mosque has been the spiritual heart of Xi’an’s Muslim community — a living symbol of trade, tolerance, and the Silk Road connection that brought cultures together.

Walking through its serene pathways feels like stepping into a timeless conversation between East and West.
