800-Year-Old Najiaying Mosque in Yunnan Province, China The Najiaying Mosque is an 800-year-old mosque located in Yunnan Province, China. It is one of the oldest and largest mosques in China, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mosque was originally built in 1370 by a Muslim merchant named Najia. It has been expanded several times over the years, and now includes a large prayer hall, a library, and a school. The mosque is a popular tourist destination, and is also a place of worship for the Muslim community in Yunnan. However, the mosque has been under threat from the Chinese government in recent years. In 2019, the Chinese government listed the mosque as a "dangerous religious building" and ordered it to be demolished. The local Muslim community protested the demolition, and the government eventually backed down. However, the Chinese government has continued to suppress the Muslim community in Yunnan. In recent years, there have been reports of Muslims being detained, tortured, and even killed by the Chinese government. The Najiaying Mosque is a symbol of the resilience of the Muslim community in Yunnan. It is a reminder of the long history of Islam in China, and of the importance of religious freedom.
