I understand @iandenisjohnson.bsky.social used the Nagel guide in 1984. I did too in 1979-81 when it corresponded even less to the built environment, but already there were attempts to reverse the Cultural Revolution damage.
See below the rebuilding of the Xi'an mosque in 1980.

It’s getting increasingly difficult to be Muslim in China for the Sinophone Hui.
Some disturbing reports about increased restrictions on Islamic identity and religious practice coming out. These include acts of surveillance and detainment of clergy as detailed here. www.rfa.org/english/chin...

The PRC Islamic Association of China’s (伊协) journal “Chinese Muslim” (中国穆斯林)is still being distributed at the Taipei Grand Mosque. I didn’t see it on weekdays, but several copies appeared on Friday before the Jumu’a prayer.

A small souvenir from 東港 in southern Taiwan: a mosque established by Indonesian fishermen, located just across the street from a small local shrine. According to people from both places, the two temples coexist amicably.
