Litong

My own research in China indicates that ex ante logic or modeling is never sufficient in categorizing the diversity emerging in ethnic areas. Each study tour may encounter a new, creative way of adaptation that is beyond the comprehension of strangers.[…]The most creative seem to be the Muslims in Litong, Ningxia, where people return to the Muslim spiritual world only after a certain age and allow the state and the mosque to govern different stages of their life (see Chapter 9).

Located in the north of Ningxia, Yinchuan borders the Shizuishan city in the north and the Litong District of Wuzhong City in the south.
