Great Mosque of Xi'an. years built: 1368-1398, 14th century
Great Mosque of Xian, Huajuexiang Mosque in Xian, Mosque on Hua Jue Lane, Huachueh Mosque Hua Jue Xiang Mosque, Hua Jue Jiang Mosque, Qing Zhen Si
The Great Mosque of Xian is the largest and best preserved of the early mosques of China. Built primarily in the Ming Dynasty when Chinese architectural elements were synthesized into mosque architecture, the mosque resembles a fifteenth century Buddhist temple with its single axis lined with courtyards and pavilions.
Like the Great Mosques at Hangzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, the Great Mosque of Xian is thought to have existed as early as the seventh century.
