Hidden Arabia in China

Qingjing Mosque Qingjing Mosque is a unique spot located in the heart of Quanzhou city. At first, it might seem strange to find Arabian-style architecture in the middle of China, but it makes sense when you remember that this city was once a thriving international trading port. The stone material of the building's exterior and the design of the gate tower are completely uncharacteristic of traditional Chinese architecture. Inside, while the mosque isn't particularly large, it exudes a serene atmosphere. With few visitors, it's a great place to explore quietly. Observing the patterns carved into the walls and structures allows you to imagine the traces left by Muslim merchants of that era. This site truly highlights that Quanzhou was more than just a simple port city. It's an excellent place to feel the remnants of prosperity in this ancient city.
