Crane Mosque, Ancient mosque in Guangling District, Yangzhou, China.

The Crane Mosque features traditional Islamic architecture with stone lecterns, ancient wells, and a spacious prayer hall within its grounds.

Built in 1275 for Arab traders during the Song Dynasty, the mosque underwent significant reconstructions in the Ming Dynasty period.

The mosque serves as a central gathering point for Islamic ceremonies and festivals, connecting Chinese and Islamic architectural traditions.

Located at 111 Nanmen Street, the mosque maintains restricted access to prayer areas while allowing visitors to observe the exterior structures.

The architectural layout forms the shape of a crane, with the entrance representing the head and pathways symbolizing the neck and wings.
