Xianxian Mosque, Large mosque and cemetery in Yuexiu District, China.

The Xianxian Mosque is a large complex with a two-story prayer hall, pavilion, and connecting buildings spread across the site. The grounds include multiple structures arranged to serve both worship and burial functions.

The mosque was founded during the Tang Dynasty around 629, making it one of the oldest in the region. It houses the burial site of forty Arab missionaries who came to bring Islam to China.

The mosque displays Ming Dynasty architectural features alongside Arab design elements in its decorations and layout. Visitors can observe how these two building traditions come together in the structure.

The site lies on Jiefang North Road in Yuexiu District, a short walk east of Guangzhou railway station. The 2010 prayer hall west of the tombs seats 3,000 people and is Guangzhou's largest Islamic prayer space. The grounds are an active place of worship and burial, so visitors should dress modestly and avoid prayer times.

The cemetery on the roof is not the only burial ground: the inner tomb passage is lined with more than 40 graves, and the tomb chamber of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas echoes when people speak inside, which is why it is called the "Resounding Tomb".
