Daxuexixiang Mosque, Religious complex in Muslim Quarter, Xi'an, China.
The Daxuexixiang Mosque features five sequential courtyards with twenty buildings incorporating Chinese architectural elements alongside Islamic religious requirements.
The mosque's foundations date to 742 CE during the Tang Dynasty, with substantial reconstruction completed in 1384 under Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty.
The prayer hall displays over 600 ceiling designs and incorporates wooden pillars, tiled roofs, and traditional Chinese layouts while maintaining Islamic worship requirements.
The mosque complex accommodates 1000 worshippers for daily prayers, though non-Muslim visitors cannot enter the main prayer hall during religious services.
Instead of traditional minarets, the mosque contains an Octagonal Examination Tower that serves educational functions while maintaining Chinese architectural characteristics.
