yeh we dont learn nothing about muslim history in china-from the west - also i love the fact pakistan/china have a good friendship
China's friendly with every countries except the US just want to pick a fight and being a bully and racist.
@@tammystewart10 try Japan, India n Australia... Lol
@@tancsun yeah those countries are just the US's puppets needing protection and follow US instructions through lies and manipulations to get ahead.
the unceasing chirping of birds outside ... such serenity.
Yes absolutely heavenly sounds 🎶
I really like the Islamic places in China.. especially in Xi'an... you should visit the Great Mosque of Xi'an. The Muslim quarter around it has the most delicious food.
It's on my wishlist to visit the Great Mosque of Xian someday God willing :)
Been to Xi'an three times. Love the city. Visited Gansu and Ningxia too. Muslims are respected in both areas.
My family have lived near the Great Mosque of Xian for over 100 years. It is a very crowed area. Guess haf of the passengers are travellers.
Linxia City in Gansu Province was called since the ancient times as The China's Makkah.
Please go visit it and you will be shock.
@@silkroadgirll Chinese loves Muslims opposite to the US.
So beautiful mosque and unique style.
Muslim hv been in China for such a long time is part of the culture. So nice to have people’s living together with different religions.
Yes true, Muslims have been there since early Islam and its wonderful to see the blending of cultures 😊
@@silkroadgirll Do you know that during the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese Admiral ZhengHe led 7 voyages from 1405 to 1433 to sail the South China Sea, Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Red Sea, and along the east coast of Africa. His fleet included 28,000 sailors on 300 ships, the longest of which were 400 feet and 160 feet wide. By comparison, Columbus in 1492 had 90 sailors on three ships, the biggest of which was 85 feet long. ZhengHe was a Hui (Chinese Muslim).
Remember the Hui people who are Han Muslims have lived happily and practised their religion freely in China.
I think you should turn your camera facing the other way so we could see more of buildings and other staff you want to show us.As beautiful as you are ,we need to see the other side.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love this video. Thank you for sharing your experience in China.
Wow. I find another reason to want to visit China. This will be the destination inshallah
Lots of birds singing in the background...:)
ya, live birds :P
The Great Mosque of Xi'an is definitely worth visiting: it is VERY different from you would expect for a mosque.
The oldest handwritten Koran in China (8th ~ 13th century) is at Qinghai, Xunhua, the treasure of one of the 55 ethnic minorities: Salar people.
It also proved how Salar people came to China and became one of the 55 ethnic minority groups.
Wow super interesting, thanks for sharing this info. I never heard of the Salar people or about their old handrwitten Quran. One day I hope to see it and also the Xi'an mosque you mentioned. Out of the 55 minority ethnic groups, do you know how many are Muslim?
@@silkroadgirll I believe 8:
In northwestern China:
Salar people, Hui (Hui is everywhere in China), Dong Xiang, Bao An.
Uyghur, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Tajik
The said Mosque was bombed to smithereens by the Brits during the Opium war.
And for some reason the Chinese rebuilt it so that Muslims had somewhere to pray even though the Chinese "hate" muslims
Your English is very clear and clean.
She came from British.
Her accent is from the north of England....
Food for thought
This is a magnificent video showing the most ancient mosque of the world in China. Pity you are no longer in China. Look forward to seeing more videos from you in future!
Thank you for your amazing support :)
It is better if the camera was directed forward instead of the speaker all the time. It is definitely not necessary for the speaker to be in the video.
Oops at 6:00, she listened to me.
You may also be interested to know that anyone with the surname “Ma” is possibly a muslim or may had a muslim ancestor as “Ma” is not a transitionally Chinese surname but rather the sinicised version of Muhammed.
I didn't know that, interesting info thanks
Wow the oldest mosque in the whole world.
why not release new videos of this year! all old videos!
I wish I could! But I am not in China right now my friend :)
I enjoyed your video. Thank you for showing a real China. However, you didn’t film people, why?
My English level is not enough to fully understand what you are saying, I still rely on subtitles. But I still subscribed to your content. If you know Chinese friends. It is strongly recommended that you add Chinese subtitles to your video and upload a copy on bilibili in China. I firmly believe that you will gain millions of fans. Don't be surprised that there are 300 million Internet users in China. Advertising revenue will give you a monthly income of tens of thousands of yuan.
Thanks for the advice Yang :)
tale says this masjid was founded by the Prophet's cousin
Hi! Is it open to non-Muslim visitors?
surely it is
@@gergentanakrisse5430 gd to know.. and how does xinjiang treat the vegetarian tourists? many options? haha
@@garypeanuts622 Sorry i don't get you
@@gergentanakrisse5430 haha I was asking if it is easy for vegetarians to find food there?
Yes sure
China also possesses the oldest copy of the koran still in existence
For centuries , chinese people knows that religions and politics do not mix and that's why preservation and upkeep of the mosques still prevailed till this date .
I like your videos and find your commentary interesting and you are very engaging. But TBH I started feeling some vertigo especially watching this video, and I am not sure why. It hasn't happened with other youtube vlog videos, but it did happen when 3D movies first came out, like in the first two years of 3D movies, but it doesn't happen anymore. Something is an anomaly in the perspective or motion. :-(
Thanks for your feedback, I am working to improve videos for the future :)
If you use VPN. Nothing is blocked
@Mike 72 they are blocked because they dont want to comply the local laws。 and Chinese are not blocked to watch them，of course， need few more steps
Sorry for my ignorant, but did you say this is the older mosque in the world??? And it’s in China???
Surely if China hate Muslim, this would have been the first thing they knocked down, why waste money to keep rebuilding and keeping it in such good condition…. Unless….. the Chinese have super power and knew you was coming and started building it just so you can film this video 😂😂😂😂
i thought there is an older one in Xi an
The Xi'an Grand Mosque （化觉寺） was built in 742, and the Lighthouse Mosque in Guangzhou （怀圣寺） was built in 627.
@@emmanuelsung thx
There is an older one in USA!! USA always number one! Number one country to cause the most Muslim casualties in the Middle East!!!
I am an indian hindu. Dont know about USA but its funny to see india criticizing china sometimes. India demolished babri masjid, call north easterns chinese or japnese, a nation where every single cop is well, and politicians are just filling up their pocket. China is way ahead of time. Instead of hateing them make strong relationship with them should be indias goal. India should stop get influenced by western media. Ab hum india ka history he hamesa har chiz der se dimag me ghusta he inke. Its still not too much late
Not just western media. Indian media too should start being more objective and balanced in their reporting about China. There's not a single media outlet in India who reports fairly on China. Fair-mindedness begins at homw.
We humans can learn from each other, China and India has lots of wisdom offered to us. It will benefit us a lot if we can learn it 🙏
In Chinese history, there has never prosecuted due to religious reasons. Budhhasm originated from India and was introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty. Budhhasm does not exist in India today. It has been exterminated. In China, it is today one of the major religions!
That figures.
much earlier than Tang in fact.
@@ymoduki you are right!
@@ymoduki correct, Tang dinasty makes the Buddhism spread faster and wider in China.
@@idiot9450 you are right, that was real history, Buddhism got more known to Chinese and eventually became one of the dominant religions since Tang. while in Tang Dynasty, although most Empires promoted Buddhism, still, one ("Tang Wu Zong") killed lots of monks, burned down countless temples because he preferred Daoism.
@@ymoduki ya, it is widely known Daoism and Buddhism try to get close to the emperor 👍
I have ask my malays muslim friend from Singapore to visit GZ to shop and tour, they are sceptical about it and mostly about halal food.After some research they went to GZ and visited this mosque. There plenty of halal shops and restuarants around that area。
this is a traditional-chinese-style mosque. i saw the integration of cultures and respect for religious beliefs.
While some ”Muslims” believe there are statues in traditional Chinese style mosques.
@@emmanuelsung Ofc there is, religion would merge with local culture, you cannot expect it to appear as same as like 1000 years ago.
@@jacky6681 You may have never been in a mosque, just let you know, there is no statue inside the prayer hall at all, it is TOTALLY probihited in Islam. religion is merging with local culture in this way.
@@emmanuelsung I think you meant statue maybe? May I ask which part did you see statue in the mosque?
@@jacky6681 Sorry, yes, I meant statue. When I was mentioning that those people say there are statues inside the Chinese style mosques, I meant they are just spreading rumors. Like I said, there is no statue inside the prayer hall (礼拜殿【我们中国人把礼拜殿叫做无相宝殿，是因为伊斯兰教认为真主没有形象，无处不在，所以在礼拜殿中自然也没有偶像】), because it is totally profihited to worship a statue according to Islamic law. The purpose that they say Chinese style mosques have statues is they just want to imply that Chinese Muslims are fake Muslims and Chinese Islam is fake Islam.
As we well know, the famous Chinese Admiral Zhenghe was a Muslim
I didn't know about him, thanks for sharing :)
@@silkroadgirll he traveled 7 times oversea, to india africa, and even madagascar. In one his “business travel”, it is believed thst he went to mecca. 😂. Still reimbursed by the emperor
@@silkroadgirll he is a chinese general. Even he visited and did trade in Indonesia. There is a temple in central Java where it believed was built by him. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Poo_Kong
Unbelievable! One of the earliest mosque in the world.... Wow and its in China where they say religion is not allowed. Great clip. keep it up. Your channel is under rated.
What a beautiful mosque, hasn't changed at all since I went there in 2013/14...
Thank you for bringing back all those wonderful memories.
Thank you too :)
Good luck China. Don’t care of aggressive countries. Just go on your own way to forward. 💪💪💪👏
Really love your words
Very true!
funny how the west never mentions muslims in china?
@dean jacksom
The West also did not mention that China Minorities' languages is also featured in the Chinese Currency
they only 'talk' about genocide of this, of that. That they have done in history.
They do not even know anything about Chinese Muslims. They never mentioned that China has 40 millions Muslims; the biggest Muslim minority group is Hui, not Uighurs; halal is everywhere in China... There was one time, BBC even claimed a wrong place in the map as "Xinjiang", what do you expect from them.
The most legendary mariner in Chinese history, Admiral Zheng He of the Ming dynasty, was a Muslim, born and brought up in a distinguished Muslim family in China. In more colloquial Chinese, he was known interchangeably as 三寶太監 or 三保太監， read as San Bao Tai Jian. During the admiral's sojourns in the Middle East, the locals commonly knew him by this more colloquial name "Sanbao" and hence was born the legend of Sinbad in the Middle East. No surprise then that some years ago when Hollywood were hatching the idea of a life-action movie of Sinbad, Keanu Reeves was the one and only choice to play the role of Sinbad/Zheng He. For Zheng He himself came from a lineage of Middle Easterners who had lived in and intermarried with local Chinese for generations. (His great-great-great grandfather served in the Mongolian court of Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty.) Sinbad/Zheng He was therefore tall and striking, with the appearance of a person of mixed Middle Eastern and Asiatic parentage - just exactly how Keanu looks. (The movie never got made and to this day, there are musings over whether studio heads were bogged down by geopolitical winds. Box office potential was highly unlikely a hindrance given Keanu Reeve's proven marketability, the access to the Chinese movie market given the theme of the movie and last but not least the appeal of the legendary Sinbad in western storybooks.) Muslims have lived peacefully alongside and embraced by the Chinese people in China for millennia; there is no greater evidence of this than the legend of Sinbad himself. How ironic, that almost ALL westerners, having no clue of the harmonious co-existence between the Chinese and Muslims from afar for thousands of years, keep dredging up the false narrative of Muslims as antagonists of the Chinese people in China.
Very interesting story and you make a great point about China-Islam history and co-operation since over 1000 years
Thanks very much for your videos, i wish western mainstream medias see your videos and debunking the belief that China is suppressing religions, mosque, churches.....
So which country respect and love Islam more?. Or you believe the west and USA who is so concerned about Muslims in Xinjiang China. Who is telling the truth?.
you should believe BBC and CNN. The Americans and the brits love democracy and freedom, always tell the truth, and would never lie to advance self interest.
Please tell that to the Iraqis, Syrians, and Afghans😂🤣
We should free ourselves from Western antichina propagandas.
In India 500 years old mosque was demolished by Hindu fundamentalists because this was the place Ram was born . India is largest democracy in the world .
@@lzeng78 "you should believe BBC and CNN. The Americans and the brits love democracy and freedom, always tell the truth, and would never lie to advance self interest"
You are being ironic, right?
Super cool masjid, really love and historical masjid, thank you very much for the visit of such a beautifull vedio, god bless you,💝💝💝💘💘
True, incredible country .no debate.👏👏
When it comes to religion, China is very serious about the separation of state and church. You are free to practice whatever your heart desire, just don’t mix up with politics.
Wonderful! Thank you for this video 🙏🏻
9：05 The red sign says: 洪慈普世 It means endless love for everyone in the world
Amazing
Islamic religion came to China in 713 AD during the Tang dynasty. mainly in three cities: Guangzhou, Quanzhou and XiAn. But in Song Dynasty, muslims and Jews lived in Kaifeng Henan more. The great Marsal ZhengHe of Ming Dynasty, his grandfather was also from Persia, came with the Mongolia army and settled down in YunNan Province
Very interesting historical info, thanks for sharing :)
China and Persian has good relationship from long time ago.
@@idiot9450 yes， the prince of AnXi(安息国=Iran today） was the first monk to spread Buddhism to China in 100 AD, the East Han dynasty。
@@howso5302 before three kingdom era. I remember Guan Yu meet a monk in his journey through 5 cities and kill 6 generals.
Great video.....thanks for the up-load....the Mosque was indeed ancient.....
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Tell this to the haters and trolls who have been saying that there is no religious freedom in China. The building is preserved for thousand of years for religious. There are quite a few mosques like this in Beijing, too.
我所在的城市在北方，也有很多清真寺。我所在的城市是穆斯林聚居较多的地方，我的同事就是穆斯林。我经常向她问起一些他们的宗教传统，因为我是一个好奇心很强的人。很多本地的穆斯林在退休后会回归日常的宗教传统习惯，我这位同事的哥哥还是专门从事宗教活动的人员，他在西亚留过学获得过学位。我们这里的人对于“回族”没有任何排斥，甚至来说他们的传统生活方式已经成为本地的一部分，无论是一些词汇、美食还是一些仪式性的都很司空见惯。随着城市建设，穆斯林居住不像以前那么集中了，年轻人可能更喜欢现代的生活方式，但是我想这些不会改变传统的精神世界，他们会逐步回归心灵的平静。总之，有挑战也有希望。宗教和唯物主义是一个时代的产物，他们会伴随人类很长时间，直到有更不可思议的人类认识的突破。那时也许会有新的宗教和新的唯物主义出现，这也是交替的。宗教在现实世界的意义也许在于教化人们摆脱太多的欲望，这是它的积极意义之一。
Decided to stop watching and wait till I see it for myself!
Wow, thankyou for this video. Salam from Indonesia
如果在美国已经只剩下废墟和头皮了
If there are only ruins and scalp left in the U.S.
哈哈啊哈哈哈
hahahaha~
Thankyou for sharing!
Maa shaa Allah .The oldest mosque in China of 1300 years old .
This girl (woman) speaks so well. Love her choice of words.
you mean this Lady....
@@kenaidiun3736 Lady, is still perceived as outdated . There is a problem - it adds to damaging notions of femininity, where women are still meant to be, or are inherently, demure and gentle. When female adults are referred to as “ladies,” there's typically a patronizing attitude present.
Beautiful lady and wonderful mosques!
Thanks for your video. Its mind opening
Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for showing us around the south of China and the oldest mosque in Guangzhou. You should go to Xinjiang to experience the life of the Muslims there one day.
Love your video
Beautiful,
Thank you! 😊
اقدم مسجد بني في الصين في هوايشينغ ، بناه الصحابي سعد بن ابي وقاص ليكون بيت عبادة للتجار المسلمين على طريق الحرير ..
Lolol I recognize the place lmao. I did a research on it when I was still in college.
Thanks a lot for showing us all this👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
No problem 👍

My Muslim sister
Thank you for your video. Nice to see the lives of minorities in China.
Westerners keep saying CCP abuse xinjiang muslims should watch this
great video i just loved it / just one suggestion dont move the camera so fast in background after 6.04 the video is great
Allah must be looking after that mosque. I can't believe how old they are.
Aslm... I use to go to the ibne wakas mosque when I am in china,
Quite irony we don't find a 1300 years old of others temple in Islamic countries. Even in Afghanistan they had the historical Buddha statues blown off. Being amazed by the polytheism been share equally and peacefully in China, the prophet Muhammad had lead a raid to promote monotheism by destroying other "pagan" idols in Mecca not mention killing a thousand whom not convert after conquered the city.
i believe mosque in south eastern china are build by sea traders/ambassadors from indian/ pakistan region. there were many trader and ambassador traveling with zhenghe Voyager back to southern china and settled down in that region.
穆斯林三贤四贤也葬在中国 所有穆斯林都要来朝圣
Persian, back in those days hui muslim are crossbreed of han and persian, but today hui retain only small amount of persian blood hence the look.
many palce have mosque in china, why suprise by western and oversea visitors, we all normlaized it if some where have muslim to stay, my home town also have many muslim in jiangsu province. we stay with together few handreds yesrs already. nothng special to us in china.
Hail Tang Empire!
This mosque is a perfect mix of Chinese and foreign culture. The building and the courtyard is a typical southern China style. I was a Chinese living in Hong Kong for tens of years and never known the oldest mosque is in Guangzhou which is so close to HK indeed. Many thanks for your sharing.
The best halal food in China
What's the name of the metro station please? Thank you for sharing
probably the metro station is Ximenkou Station

I like how you said share Islam that's interesting
Most of the video shows the sister, I can't see musc of the mosque!
Thank you for showing the truth about China.
In Chinese philosophy and Confucianism all living things are create equal rights, whatever is religion, or to smaller ant n no single religion or peoples r supremacy on top of others
Alhamdulillah I think I have visited the masjid if I not mistaken it is near to Beijing if it is the same masjid
No brother, this masjid is in Guangzhou not Beijing :)
I m not sure how saad ibn wakkas did built this masjid if it s 1300 years old.
I think it was 1400+ years old
the Huai-sheng Mosque in Guangzhou was built in 627
Are you still in Guangzhou
@Silk Road Girl: You should not swing your camera around so fast. Please slow a bit. It will be more enjoyable.
Ok thanks for feedback :)
fact: religious freedom is constitutional in China.

This is my home and didn't know there's one of the oldedt mosque in there
Lol well now you know so feel free to visit :)
Thanks so much for sharing. However, your cam is moving too much while you walk that make me dizzy. You may try to use new kind of cam like DJI pocket 2 which has anti-vibration and anti rotation features.
No mention of the Tomb of Saad ibn Waqas (r.a.) ????? Your visit was incomplete dear Silk Road Girl. I do enjoy video. Terima kasih.
Your accent has a bit of Birmingham in it.
Nowt wrong with a bit of Brum 😆
Why the bash on the "gentlemen in blue shirt"?! The Police officers aren't guarding the Mosque you were visiting!
I personally hope you're not another anti-Chinese shill in disguise.
2:57 What's up with the chest blurring? It's unnecessarily drawing attention to that area. If it was intended for modesty then it just had the opposite effect.
