In the heart of the Muslim Quarter is The Great Mosque. The Mosque is said to have been established in the 8th Century. It is a nice blend of both Chinese and Islamic architecture. The Great Mosque is built facing west, towards Mecca, instead of the usual South. Here are a few photos of this historic Mosque.

Its interesting to see and hear of Islamic influnce in China and how long it has been there. I read recently that there are more Christians in China than in Canada. It is such a diverse country with a huge population that its hard to relate to. The company i work for has 27,000 employees worldwide other than China where it has.....120,000 employees.
