    The Huaisheng Mosque, also known as the Lighthouse Mosque and the Great Mosque of Canton, is the main mosque of Guangzhou. Rebuilt many times over its history, it is traditionally thought to have been originally built over 1,300 years ago, which would make it one of the oldest mosques in the world.In China, the most unusual feature of the mosque is its pointed 36-meter minaret, the Guangta or Kwangtah.

The mosque was visited by Tim Severin's crew of the Sohar, that sailed into Canton from Muscat in July 1981.
