The Great Mosque of Xi'an in Daxuexi Lane is full of ancient traces.

In the Muslim Quarter, you can satisfy your taste buds and enrich your spiritual world. When you turn into Daxuexi Lane from the bustling Muslim Quarter, it feels like you have entered a quiet world from the noisy world.

The architectural style of the entire mosque combines traditional Chinese and Islamic cultural elements, adopting the traditional Chinese courtyard style, mainly wooden structures, showing a distinct Chinese style.

The "Zheng He Stele" under the stele pavilion on the south side of the central courtyard is particularly eye-catching. The inscription details Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas. It is the only and most complete inscription in China that records Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas, with extremely precious historical value. Looking at the words on the stele, it seems that you can see the heroic deeds of Zheng He leading the fleet to ride the wind and waves and cross the ocean, and you can also feel the important role played by the Great Mosque of Xi'an in Daxuexi Lane in the long river of history.

The mosque has strict religious rules. People wearing short skirts and shorts are not allowed to enter, and people eating food are not allowed to enter. Please respect the religious customs of others!

In this ancient city of Xi'an, there are many places and things waiting for you and me to discover!
