Josh of Far West China has a post up called a Pictorial History of Kashgar’s Id Kah Mosque (circa 1936). Being a fan of old stuff, mosques and pictures, I thought I’d pass it along. From the post:

The Id Kah mosque is one of the oldest and largest in all of China, dating all the way back to 1442. It was severely damaged during China’s Cultural Revolution but purportedly restored multiple times by the local government and declared a protected monument. The pictures below were taken almost two decades before the CCP came to power and created the Xinjiang Autonomous Region.

Unfortunately you’ll need a proxy to see the post/blog. Which is too bad because there’s usually great stuff there. Take a look.
