Om
Hurtige fakta: Denne moské forener kinesisk paladsarkitektur med islamisk tradition, kronet af en femkantet pavillon i stedet for en typisk kuppel. Over 200 udskårne tagbeslag støtter den store bedehal, hver malet i grønne, blå og gyldne mønstre, der fanger lyset smukt.
Højdepunkter: Inde i den store bedehal er mihraben indrammet af håndudskårne træpaneler med arabisk kalligrafi, malet af en enkelt håndværker over 18 måneder. Under fredagsbønnen bærer imamens stemme gennem hele gårdspladsen uden nogen form for forstærkning, takket være den specifikke vinkel på det femkantede tag, der blev designet til at kaste lyden nedad.
Insidertips
- Dress modestly with covered shoulders and knees out of respect, especially inside the prayer hall.
- The rooftop terrace offers a clear view of the surrounding old town, climb up for panoramas.
- Non-Muslim visitors should avoid entering during the five daily prayer times, plan around 1 PM to 2 PM when things are quiet.
- Bring a small gift of dates or tea if a local guide offers to show you around, it's customary and appreciated.
