1. 4.5 Songmingyan National Forest Park (3 reviews)
   - Nice natural scenery, terrible resort
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM National Parks • Forests
   
   
   Songmingyan National Park itself is nice if you go pass the point where the tourists stop. You can go hiking to 4000 meters peaks and through green, beautiful forests. Avoid the resort outside the park, or don't if you're into kitch "luxury" hotel rooms, stupid activities like grass skiing or campfire with burned plastic chairs in a parking lot. See more..

3. 4.0 Linxia Nanguan Mosque (3 reviews)
   - A chinese architectural mosque of great antiquity
   Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites • Religious Sites
   
   
   Linxia is also called little Mecca because of its high proportion of Muslims in the population and it has this very old mosque built in Chinese style - especially the entrance. We had to wait for Friday prayers to finish before we could enter and then we were allocated a young guide who was the current protector of the mausoleum relating to the mosque's founder who introduced Islam to this area 1500 years ago. Outside I noticed older women with pink fez on their heads and asked our guide what they signified. None of us had seen anything like it - he went and asked one of the mosque attendants and he said the pink fez can only be worn by women who are the head (read boss) of the family. All along the roads in and out of Linxia were mosques or prayer halls - all with brightly coloured domes and minarets - every few hundred metres. We could not find out why as this was the country - rural farmers. See more..

6. 4.0 Gongbei Building of Mosque (1 review)
   - Unplanned visit to HQ of Qadiriyyah school of Islam
   Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
   
   
   Gongbei is a term used by Hui people in Northwest China for an Islamic shrine complex centred on the grave of a Sufi master. The Da Gongbei Mosque in Linxia contains the remains of Khawaja Abdul-Allah a descendent of the Prophet and an important leader of the Qadiriyya order of Islam. There are some intricate and delicate stone carvings on the front gate of the Mosque that are worth a look. The architecture overall is in the Chinese style of Islam, more colourful than many of the Islamic buildings further west in Iran and Turkey. The Main Prayer Hall in particular has some lovely colourful detailing on the roof eaves. See more..
