On October 5th at noon, we left Najiaying in Yuxi for Jianshui. We passed by the Guanyi Mosque in Qujiang, which houses the Awakening Dream Pavilion (Xingmeng Lou) built during the Qing Dynasty. The Awakening Dream Pavilion was first built in 1687 (the 26th year of the Kangxi reign) and was originally called the Awakening Heart Pavilion (Xingxin Lou). It was renamed the Prayer Pavilion (Bailou) after being rebuilt in 1752 (the 17th year of the Qianlong reign).
The mosque also keeps several stone lions in the local style, along with a plaque inscribed with the words "Vast, Refined, and Subtle" (Guangda Jingwei) erected in 1917 by Yunnan Army Major General Ma Wenzhong and Army Major Na Fuxing.
We traveled south from Guanyi to the Jianshui Ancient City and stayed at an old house inn called Xianting. It was very quiet and unique, and it had not been overdeveloped.
In the evening, we went to the famous Zitao Street for a late-night snack. There were so many halal stalls on Zitao Street! The main items were grilled tofu, grilled potatoes, and grilled meat skewers. Of course, there were also various types of cattail shoot rice noodles (caoya mixian), tilapia, and pounded chicken feet. There was just too much to eat! We started with a fruit bowl, then had grilled skewers, grilled tofu, and grilled potatoes. Having lived in Beijing for a long time, it had been ages since I visited such a lively night market.
Actually, the area around Xiaogui Lake outside the Chaoyang Tower in Jianshui Ancient City is also very lively at night, with many halal restaurants. If you stay near Chaoyang Tower, you don't really need to go all the way to Zitao Street to have a great night out.
At the Zitao Street night market, we drank pomegranate juice and ate local clay pot rice (guanguan fan) and corn cakes (yumi baba).
On the morning of October 6th, we ate the local specialty, cattail shoot bridge-crossing rice noodles, on Mashi Street near the Chaoyang Tower in the old city of Jianshui. We also bought beef jerky mooncakes (niu ganba yuebing) and purple rice lion cakes (zimi shizi gao) to eat on the road.
According to the inscriptions inside, the Jianshui Ancient City Mosque was first built during the Huangqing era of the Yuan Dynasty and is the oldest mosque in southern Yunnan. The existing main hall was rebuilt in 1730 (the 8th year of the Yongzheng reign) and features a simplified hip-and-gable roof typical of the Jianshui region.
The beam structure of the east-facing hall of the Jianshui Ancient City Mosque is simple and sturdy, and it is believed to be original woodwork from the Yuan Dynasty. view all

On the morning of October 6th, we ate the local specialty, cattail shoot bridge-crossing rice noodles, on Mashi Street near the Chaoyang Tower in the old city of Jianshui. We also bought beef jerky mooncakes (niu ganba yuebing) and purple rice lion cakes (zimi shizi gao) to eat on the road.
According to the inscriptions inside, the Jianshui Ancient City Mosque was first built during the Huangqing era of the Yuan Dynasty and is the oldest mosque in southern Yunnan. The existing main hall was rebuilt in 1730 (the 8th year of the Yongzheng reign) and features a simplified hip-and-gable roof typical of the Jianshui region.
The beam structure of the east-facing hall of the Jianshui Ancient City Mosque is simple and sturdy, and it is believed to be original woodwork from the Yuan Dynasty.

On October 5th at noon, we left Najiaying in Yuxi for Jianshui. We passed by the Guanyi Mosque in Qujiang, which houses the Awakening Dream Pavilion (Xingmeng Lou) built during the Qing Dynasty. The Awakening Dream Pavilion was first built in 1687 (the 26th year of the Kangxi reign) and was originally called the Awakening Heart Pavilion (Xingxin Lou). It was renamed the Prayer Pavilion (Bailou) after being rebuilt in 1752 (the 17th year of the Qianlong reign).
The mosque also keeps several stone lions in the local style, along with a plaque inscribed with the words "Vast, Refined, and Subtle" (Guangda Jingwei) erected in 1917 by Yunnan Army Major General Ma Wenzhong and Army Major Na Fuxing.
We traveled south from Guanyi to the Jianshui Ancient City and stayed at an old house inn called Xianting. It was very quiet and unique, and it had not been overdeveloped.
In the evening, we went to the famous Zitao Street for a late-night snack. There were so many halal stalls on Zitao Street! The main items were grilled tofu, grilled potatoes, and grilled meat skewers. Of course, there were also various types of cattail shoot rice noodles (caoya mixian), tilapia, and pounded chicken feet. There was just too much to eat! We started with a fruit bowl, then had grilled skewers, grilled tofu, and grilled potatoes. Having lived in Beijing for a long time, it had been ages since I visited such a lively night market.
Actually, the area around Xiaogui Lake outside the Chaoyang Tower in Jianshui Ancient City is also very lively at night, with many halal restaurants. If you stay near Chaoyang Tower, you don't really need to go all the way to Zitao Street to have a great night out.
At the Zitao Street night market, we drank pomegranate juice and ate local clay pot rice (guanguan fan) and corn cakes (yumi baba).
