great mosque

china again! eesh it's been a long time since i've posted china pictures. here some pictures of the great mosque, which is appropriately located in the muslim quarter, in xian. btw, these are pictures of things leading up to the actual mosque, which is actually a sorta boringish building to look at. it's quite large however and leads quite deep inside. but we weren't allowed in. me being a female and wearing shorts and a near sleeveless top i'm sure helping tons.
