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.
I walked on, and it appeared that in the two lateral buildings, men were studying the Koran in koran schools, while behind the buildings there were some low appartment blocks where the students lived. Actually, the Great Mosque is a major centre for religious education in the region. I reached the far side of the square, and here was the actual prayer hall. Much smaller than you would expect for one of the biggest mosques in the region! On one side, old Chinese moslims were sitting against the wall, talking quietly. As most moslims here, they were easily recognized: most had beards, many had oversized sunglasses, and all had white hats.
