I'M JUST WONDERING, DOES CHINA HAVE A MUSLIM POPULATION? IF IT DOES, HAS ANYBODY SEEN ANY MOSQUES IN GUANGZHOU REGION? IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH MY RESEARCH I'D APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS.

Yes, there are a lot of Muslims in China! Most of Hui people in China are Muslims. Generally, they live in the northwest or southwest part of china. so I'm not sure whether there are mosques in Guangzhou. To know more about Hui people, you can check out:

There are 55 ethic groups in China and three of them are muslims, that is:

Uyghur - population: 8 million
Hui - population: over 9 million
Dongxiang - population: 400,000

Hui people, with the biggest population among them, live extensively dispersed, you can find Hui people amost every province in China. Where there are Hui people, there must be mosques.
