From "Highlights of China":
The Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque is the most famous Mosque in the southwest of China. As the temple is near a royal palace in history, so it is named the Huangcheng Mosque. The Mosque covers an area of 6,600 square meters, with a construction area of 5,600 square meters. It is the largest Mosque in Sichuan Province and is one of the famous old temple in China.
The architectural style of the temple combined the Arabic style and Ming, Qing Dynasty's architectural style as a whole. The existing constructions include an entrance wall, two gates, an ambulatory, a shower room, a library and a prayer hall, etc. The entrance wall is opposite the main gate. Between the wall and the gate, it is a street. On the top of the main gate is the tablet marked the name of " Huangcheng Mosque". Outside the main gate is the fence. On the top of the second gate is the tablet marked the name of "Kai Tian Gu Jiao" ( it means a old temple with a long history). The second tablet is the relics of Qing Dynasty(1644-1911). The library holds a lot of Islam books with Arabic and Chinese language. The prayer hall is a newly building with grand scale and simplicity. The temple is the center of the Islamic Association in Sichuan Province.
It was a rainy day in Chengdu, which is pretty normal for July, so misty air and bad lighting make this a rather flat picture.

How simple could a mosque be...
...please take attention to the two doors, one for women and one for men!
Opened in 1998, and designed by Basil Al Bayati, the Edinburgh Central Mosque is right across the road from Edinburgh University at Potterrow. In a rather nice touch the architecture, while traditional for an Islamic holy structure, also contains nods to Scots Baronial architecture, making a nice statement about two cultures interleaved.
I was coming out of a festival show in the university nearby, and only had the Mr Bendy Legs, the mini-tripod, with me, so I sat it and the camera on a handy bench to bring it up a bit more, and grab this picture as the late evening was fading into night. The adjacent Mosque Kitchen is a highly recommended place to eat in the city (great food and very affordable).
The Süleymaniye Mosque, built on the order of Sultan Süleyman (Süleyman the Magnificent), "was fortunate to be able to draw on the talents of the architectural genius of Mimar Sinan" (481 Traditions and Encounters: Brief Global History). The construction work began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557.
This "vast religious complex called the Süleymaniye...blended Islamic and Byzantine architectural elements. It combines tall, slender minarets with large domed buildings supported by half domes in the style of the Byzantine church Hagia Sophia (which the Ottomans converted into the mosque of Aya Sofya)" (481 Traditions and Encounters: Brief Global History).
The design of the Süleymaniye also plays on Suleyman's self-conscious representation of himself as a 'second Solomon.' It references the Dome of the Rock, which was built on the site of the Temple of Solomon, as well as Justinian's boast upon the completion of the Hagia Sophia: "Solomon, I have surpassed thee!"[1] The Süleymaniye, similar in magnificence to the preceding structures, asserts Suleyman's historical importance. The structure is nevertheless smaller in size than its older archetype, the Hagia Sophia.
The mosque which dominates the Europa Point area is a resent addition, having officially inaugurated on the 8th August 1997. The building was a gift from King Fahad Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia and is known as the Mosque of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. This mosque is also known as the Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque.

Aziziye Mosque (camii)......The mosque is in the district of Karatay of Greater Konya at about 37°52′N 32°30′ECoordinates: 37°52′N 32°30′E. It is situated in the business center of the city. The original mosque had been commissioned between 1671 and 1676 [1] by Damat Mustafa Pasha who was the husband of Hatice Sultan, the daughter of sultan Mehmet IV. But when it was ruined as a result of a fire in 1867, it was recommissioned by Pertevniyal, the mother of sultan Abdülaziz in 1874. (Name Aziziye refers to Abdülaziz). The architectural style is a mixture of boroque and traditional Ottoman architecture. Nevertheless it has many features which make it one of a kind. It is a double minaret building. In each minaret the balcony (Turkish: şerefe) roof is supported with columns which makes the mosque unique in Turkey. Unlike most other mosques its main floor is elevated and a ladder is used to reach the main floor. Also the floorspace is not wide and there is no yard. Because of the same reason Sadirvans (şadırvan, water fountains), are adjacent to minarets. The praying hall is square shaped and its ceiling is a big dome. The nartex has three smaller domes on six marble pillars.[2] Another interesting feature of the mosque is its windows which are wider than the doors.
