Thanks Pete!
Here's a few more from the Muslim quarter in central Xi'an. I really enjoyed wandering around here with camera in hand.

Fine shots, Jon.
Did you visit the old Chinese temple, that is now used as a mosque? I was in the area in 2008. That temple was a very beautiful place.
Thanks! If you mean the Great Mosque of Xi'an in the Muslim quarter, I certainly did visit it. Its a very old mosque (founded in 742), so I didn't realise it was a temple previously. I was lucky to visit at prayer time on a Friday and the mosque was very busy. I'm surprised they let visitors in actually. Unlike Muslim countries I've visited, there was no call to prayer and the service itself sounded more like a Buddhist service, though obviously it wasn't. Here's a few photos I took that day, all with an LTM W-Nikkor 3.5cm F1.8 lens.

Yes, great pictures again, Jon. It seems that the people did not notice that you made the pictures. Do you have a special candid technique? Usually muslims do not like being photographed.
Erik.
Erik.
Thanks Erik. I didn't do anything special, and just took photos in the same way I always do. I actually found it very easy to take photos in the Great Mosque and Muslim quarter of Xi'an, and in China in general, as people don't seem to react with the same suspicion towards cameras they generally do in the West and the Middle East.

Yes, that´s it. Again, fine shots. I´m almost certain we were told that the oldest buildings had other uses before the area became a mosque, but I could remember wrong. We were there on another weekday, on which both the yards and the prayer room (which we couldn´t enter), were almost completely empty.
