Islam
The old mosque in Qingzhen village looks back on several centuries of history. In their courtyard are a ginkgo tree that is more than 300 years old and a pair of gold and silver osmanthus trees that are around 100 years old. Another indication of the age of the mosque are two large bronze incense burners placed there that date from the reign (1425–1435) of the Xuande emperor of the Ming dynasty . In 1995, a new mosque was built with domestic and foreign donations, up to then the largest new mosque in all of eastern China . Together with the old mosque, it forms an architectural ensemble that has developed into a religious center for Muslims far beyond Gaoyou and Yangzhou.
