This is a mosque I actually got to go to in China.  It was built with a garden around it.  It had lots of small buildings like  the one shown.  All of these buildings had interesting religious and historic meaning, but I forgot what those meanings were.  It’s been a few years.  They were great stories, though, illustrated throughout the buildings.  I do remember that this garden was very peaceful and calming to walk through.  I also love the old Chinese style of buildings.   Oh yeah.  There was also a well in this garden that was very important for some reason.  I feel like I am disgracing this place with my forgetfullness of the value of it.

Edit: I went and found my ticket to this place instead of being lazy.  It is the Great Mosque of Xi’an.  If you want to learn what I forgot, you can check out the link.
