Experience the niche mosque in the city of ten thousand Buddhas—Quanzhou Qingjing Mosque

🌟Attraction Introduction: Quanzhou Qingjing Mosque, also known as Qilin Temple, is one of the four ancient Islamic mosques along China's coast. It was founded by Arab Muslims and was first built during the Northern Song Dynasty. The entire mosque features exquisite architectural style, unique form, distinct structure, majestic appearance, and exotic charm. It is one of the earliest existing mosques in China with an ancient Arabian Islamic architectural style. It is also a historical witness to the earliest friendship and cultural exchange between the Chinese and Arab peoples. The most distinctive feature is the gate of the mosque, made of green rock and granite. Above the gatehouse is the "Moon Viewing Platform," with four unique Arabian-style minarets standing at the four corners. Behind the platform is an arched dome-topped "Moon Viewing Pavilion." Across the gatehouse is a large prayer hall (Fengtian Altar) covered by a large dome. To the east of the temple building is another Islamic-style minaret. During the Ming Dynasty, the pavilion and tower were destroyed in the Quanzhou earthquake and were later rebuilt. Outside the north wall, there is also a thousand-year-old well from the Ming Chengzu period. The entire temple is not very large, but it reflects a simple and mysterious historical style, making it a worthwhile visit for those who appreciate architectural art. 🕙Opening Hours: Opens at 9:00 am, tickets are 3 yuan 📍Detailed Address: No. 108 Tumen Street, Licheng District, Quanzhou, Fujian 📝Tips: Islam pays great attention to worship etiquette.
