The Grand Mosque of Shadian was originally built in 1684,[1] in the Shadian suburb of Gejiu City in Yunnan province, China.[2] The 21,000 square metre complex featured a tiled green dome with a crescent moon, four smaller domes, and soaring minarets, and was the last major mosque in China built in the Arabic style until its domes were removed in 2023,[3] with features from Nabawi Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia.[4][5]
