Great Mosque of Xi'an (StreetView)
The Great Mosque of Xi'an (Chinese: 西安大清真寺; pinyin: Xī'ān Dà Qīngzhēnsì) is 1 of the largest premodern mosques in China. Though the mosque was first built in 742 CE during the Tang dynasty, its current form was largely built in 1384 during Emperor Hongwu's reign of the Ming dynasty.

An active place of worship within the city's Muslim Quarter, this courtyard complex is a popular tourist site. It now houses over 20 buildings in its 5 courtyards, and covers 1.23 hectares.
