One of the biggest mosques in northwest China, the Great Mosque of Xining holds many surprises for the traveler who is used to Middle Eastern mosques and will not fail to please the visitor.
At the end of the day, I decided to visit the Great Mosque of Xining, one of the largest in Western China, and the most important Muslim religious centre in Qinghai province. It is also known as Dongguan mosque, or East Gate Mosque, not surprisingly because it stands in the eastern part of town, at the edge of the Muslim neighbourhood of the capital of Qinghai province. Standing in front of the mosque, I saw a clearly recognizable religious building for muslims: two minarets towering above a green dome. However, as soon as I stepped in, and expected to be in a high hall with prayer mats, light coming in from above, and beautifully decorated ceilings, I found myself in an almost empty hall, less than 10 metres deep. When I stepped out on the other side, I found myself on a large square, with what looked like Chinese temples on both sides.
