Ld Kah Mosque

The big yellow-tiled ld Kah Mosque (Ai Tiga’er Qingzhen Si) is one of the largest in China, with a courtyard and gardens that can hold 20,000 people during the annual Qurban Baiyram celebrations. It was built in 1422 as a smaller mosque on what was then the outskirts town. During the Cultural Revolution ld Kah suffered heavy damage, but has since been restored. There are also more than 90 tiny neighbourhood mosques throughout the city.
