Huaisheng Mosque reflects Guangzhou’s long trading history with the Arabic world and is the spiritual home of Guangzhou’s Hui people. Although access is restricted to Muslims, you can get a peek at Guangta, allegedly China’s oldest minaret, built by Abu Waqas in the seventh century. This area was known as Fanfang, or the foreigners’ enclave during the Ming dynasty and it remains a Muslim part of town with some good halal restaurants and niurou mian (beef noodle) canteens.
