Laohua Mosque, Religious center in Linxia City, China.

The Laohua Mosque features traditional Chinese architectural elements, including curved roofs and decorative patterns that merge with Islamic design principles.

Established in 1368 during the Ming Dynasty, the mosque underwent reconstruction in 1941 after a fire destroyed its original structure in 1928.

The mosque functions as a primary gathering place for the local Hui Muslim community, facilitating both religious ceremonies and educational activities.

This religious complex spans over 5 mu of land and contains prayer halls that accommodate up to 2,000 worshippers during religious services.

The mosque combines Chinese architectural traditions with Islamic religious requirements, reflecting the adaptation of Islamic practices in China.
