Embark on an extraordinary 12-day journey tracing the rich history of Islam in China, beginning in بكين with a visit to مسجد نيوجيه (بُني في 996 as the capital’s earliest Islamic sanctuary), before flying to تشانغ يي to marvel at the vibrant جبال قوس قزح, whose colorful rock formations evoke the vivid earth descriptions found in the holy Quran. Continue to لينكسا, الملقبة China’s “Little Mecca” and honored as the birthplace of China’s four major Sufi Menhuan orders – Khufiyya, Jahriyya, Qadiriyya, and Kubrawiyya. Moving onward to شيآن, explore the sprawling, courtyard-style المسجد الكبير في شيآن, one of the nation’s most celebrated fusions of traditional Chinese architecture and Islamic art. The pilgrimage concludes in قوانغتشو at the revered ضريح واقاس, the resting place of the Prophet’s noble companion Sa’ad Ibn Abi Waqqas, and the ancient Huaisheng Masjid, celebrated as China’s very first mosque.
