Chengdu - Mosque

(Local Name: Qinzhen Si) Chengdu's important mosque, south of the bell-tower in the old town, was partially destroyed in a Japanese air-raid in 1941.

The prayer hall, 15.7m/51ft long and 11.7m/38ft wide and covered in enameled tiles, remains intact.

''Seventh year of the empire of Qianlong'' is the inscription on a beam in the building which indicates the year of construction: 1742.
