The oldest stone built mosque in China located in Quanzhou city in the Fujian province in 1009 AD. The patch of grass to the right is the edge one of many graveyards in the city housing the thousands of immigrant Arabian Muslims to the city/ region since the time of Prophet Muhammad. These Muslims married and 'integrated' creating a new Chinese Muslim culture.
The mosque is a testament to the local community where interfaith relations have continued to be strong. A few hundred feet down the road behind me is, for example one of the largest Buddhist temples in town, equally elaborate in design.
The colouring on this the outer stone wall which faces a busy road is very different to that of the preceding photo of the inner stone wall, on account of the pollution.
Wikipedia reports that the mosque was built on reclaimed land, with almost half of the surface of the mosque extending over the waters of the Atlantic. This was reportedly inspired by the verse of the Qur'an which says that "the throne of God was built on the water". Part of floor is glass so that worshippers can realize that they are kneeling directly over the sea.
The mosque was built to withstand earthquakes and has a heated floor, electric doors, and a sliding roof. It displays strong Moorish influence and the architecture of the building is similar to that of the Alhambra and the Mezquita in Spain.
