Introduction to China
Islam began to spread its wings in China in 651 AD during the reign of Tang Emperor Gaozong. Over the centuries Islam has developed vastly in China and this has resulted in many Masaajid and sites that interest a Muslim traveler to the country. As of now there are about ten minorities all over China that follow Islam and prefer to lead their own lifestyle and dining habits. Finding Halal food and Masaajid is not very difficult. There are quite a number of places that might interest the Muslim traveler such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Urumqi, Chongqing, Guiyang, Kunming, Lhasa and Guilin.
