A canal-city mosque founded in the Ming dynasty. The North Mosque is large, blending Chinese palace-style halls with Islamic decoration.
Linqing is a canal city with a large Hui community. The North Mosque of Linqing was first built during the Jiajing reign of the Ming dynasty and covers a large area. Its prayer hall and Moon-Watching Tower use traditional Chinese timber architecture, while the beam paintings incorporate Islamic patterns. The East Mosque nearby is somewhat smaller. Both mosques are National Key Cultural Relic Protection Units, and the surrounding area offers Hui snacks such as Linqing tuoban tofu and shaomai. Please dress modestly and keep quiet during prayer times. Non-Muslim visitors may be restricted from entering the prayer hall.
