Virtual China: Xinjiang...The Mosques and Temples

 

Mosques...Temples and even Christian Churches!

They are everywhere in Xinjiang

From the ornate Mosques

where devout Islamic gather to pray.

To magnificent Buddhist Temples.

And simple white Christian Churches...the fastest growing religion in China, currently.

Where Religions Coexist Peacefully

Xinjiang is also home to some of the ancient Buddhist ruins.

This Temple (Subax) dating back to nearly 2,000 years ago.

Now deemed a World Heritage Site along with The Grand Canal where it sits.

Sadly, I found no videos of this site.


 


Only photos from outside.

Next...we will try the #1 dish of the area, Di Pan Ji.

(...simply known as Big Plate Chicken...)

Until then...
