I finally made it to the Ox Street Mosque. It's in what's left of the Muslim quarter, which is basically a block of street. It's a cool little place that built back in the 10th century. Back then everything had to be built in the classical Chinese style so it's full of pagodas and arched roofs like any other temple, but with Arabic calligraphy and archways and other touches inside that make it unique. It still functions as a Muslim place of worship so there are Muslim Chinese people here as well, which is something you don't see as often this far east in China. Cool stuff!
