In Quanzhou, there is Lingshan Islamic Cemetery (灵山伊斯兰教圣墓). In that cemetery, there are various kinds of tombs. Many of these tombs are turtle-back tombs, similar to those seen elsewhere in Fujian. (Which means that many Muslim people - 回民 - in Quanzhou used the same tomb style as non-Muslim people in Quanzhou). -- Vmenkov (talk) 17:17, 25 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
