what???

A typical turtle-back tomb, in Lingshan Islamic Cemetery, Quanzhou islamic in china earth? sorry cant understand — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.144.23.63 (talk) 11:58, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In Quanzhou, there is Lingshan Islamic Cemetery (灵山伊斯兰教圣墓). In that cemetery, there are various kinds of tombs. Many of these tombs are turtle-back tombs, similar to those seen elsewhere in Fujian. (Which means that many Muslim people - 回民 - in Quanzhou used the same tomb style as non-Muslim people in Quanzhou). -- Vmenkov (talk) 17:17, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
