The Crane Mosque in Yangzhou, China



This is one of the four oldest mosques in China, "xian-he si" (the crane temple). The mosque is said to be built in 1275 by an eminent person pu-ha-ding (Burhan al-Din), who had visited Yangzhou and stayed there in the last years of the southern song and the early Yuan period.
