Faith in the heartbeat of the city: Xining Nanguan Mosque

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Nanguan Mosque is the core of faith for Muslims in Xining and a silent guardian of the city’s culture. It is located in the bustling city, but it is a quiet place of its own. The arches, spires and green domes, a fusion of Islamic and Central Plains architectural styles, made me respect them at first sight. Whenever the worship time approaches, believers come in one after another with pious expressions, which is very moving. I followed the crowd into the mosque courtyard and listened to the sound of chanting slowly rising in the distance. It was a language that penetrated the soul. The hall is solemn and dignified, without too much decoration, but it makes people calm down naturally. This temple is not only a place of faith, but also a part of the soul of the city. In this impetuous era, Nanguan Mosque reminds people what tranquility is and what guidance is in their hearts.
