普哈丁墓
A Song-dynasty Islamic memorial garden on the east bank of the Old Grand Canal, traditionally the resting place of Puhaddin, a sixteenth-generation descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. It stands as a witness to China's exchanges with the wider world.
The Tomb of Puhaddin is on the east bank of the Old Grand Canal. Puhaddin, an Arab who came to Yangzhou to preach during the Xianchun era of the Southern Song, is traditionally said to be a sixteenth-generation descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. After his death he was buried here. The garden contains a tomb pavilion, a mosque, a cluster of Ming and Qing Muslim graves, and ancient ginkgo trees several centuries old. The architecture blends Chinese and Arab styles, and the site is a national key heritage site. The garden is quiet, and a visit takes about 40 minutes. Please dress modestly and respect religious customs. Admission follows on-site rates. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Dongguan Ancient Ferry across the canal, and can be visited along with Dongguan Street.
