Spread off completely around the country

While it does not seem like it at first, it turns out that the Muslim community (communities) in China are actually fairly widespread, if this map of mosques around the country is to be taken into account

 

It's  fairly interesting to see so many mosques spread out around the country, but apparently mainly concentrated on the eastern side. One would think that the majority of the mosques would be more spread out around the northwestern borderlands areas, where groups like the Uighur population are concentrated.

In either case, it's a useful visual aid to see the widespread diversity of the faith all along China - it gives more of an indication that the religious tradition is more spread out along the country than I had initially thought.

Related to the idea of mosques in China, below is a video of the Huaisheng Mosque in Guangzhou - apparently one of the oldest mosques in the world.
