In early 1934, Pastor Hai Yingguang and Pastor Calvin Franklin Snyder traveled together to the Dongxiang people's settlement in Linxia to preach, leaving behind many precious photos. In 1940, while preaching in Linxia, Pastor Hai Yingguang took more photos of the Dongxiang people.

The notes say it is the Suonanba Mosque, but records show the Suonanba Mosque was burned down by the army in 1928 and rebuilt in 1937. Therefore, it is not certain whether it is actually the Suonanba Mosque.
1934
The notes say it is the tomb of the Hu men (a Sufi order branch) at Hongnitian, Suonanba. The Hu men is a branch of the Khufiyya menhuan, founded by the Dongxiang man Ma Fuhai (1715-1809) from Hongnitian.
It might be the gongbei at Shixiakou, Tangwang. Legend has it that between the Song and Yuan dynasties, Muhammad Hanafiyya came to China to preach and passed through Shixiakou, where he saw severe flooding and guided the locals to divert the river water. He meditated in a cave on Wolong Mountain in Shixiakou and returned to Allah in that cave. Later generations buried him in Shixiakou and honored him as the Shixiakou Daozu. In 1711, Tu Yiqing, a disciple of Qi Jingyi who founded the Great Gongbei, looked after the grave and built a gongbei for it. The gongbei was destroyed in the 1960s and rebuilt after 1980.
