This photo comes from Paul James on his trip to Xian:

这张来自 Paul James 在西安旅游的相片：

Paul added the following note: “This is probably my favorite picture I took in Xi’an. These are Chinese Muslims waiting to go to the prayer hall. A little history. Xi’an is the former site of ancient Chang’an, the historic capital of the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907 CE) and is still considered by most (except maybe the Communist Party) as the height of Chinese civilization. Chang’an was at that point the largest city in the world, and was the eastern end of the famous Silk Road. As such, it drew people from all over the world, including a new religous group known as Muslims. Many of the middle-eastern travellers who came to trade with China ended up staying in Chang’an and converting the locals to their new religion. As such, the 回民 (hui min) grew into what is now one of China’s 56 ethnic minorities. 回 (hui) in the Chinese language means ‘return,’ which explains how they got the name, because every Muslim, at some point in their life, is supposed to ‘return’ to Mecca. There is a wonderful Muslim quarter in Xi’an, and probably one of the coolest places in the city.”

This next photo is from Zine Van Der Walt and was taken in Henan province at the Fuxi Mountain Snowflower Caves:
