📜 About & history
The Linqing West Mosque has no recorded founding date, but a stele marking a 1564 restoration shows it originated before the mid-Ming. East-facing, it comprises a prayer hall, a moon-watching tower, a lecture hall and ablution rooms in over eighty rooms; its hall has three connected sections in the 'goulianda' style, and it is a provincial-level protected relic.
