The town has an assortment of religious buildings, some quite old. It has been called a museum of world religions. There are Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian temples, as anywhere in China, plus Christian churches and one mosque. There are also Hindu and Zoroastrian temples.
Qingjing Mosque, Tumen Street. The only surviving mosque of the many that used to exist. It is over 1,000 years old, and was rebuilt in 2009 so the dome is now restored after a 200-year absence. Well worth a visit. �
Taoist temple (Guan Di Temple), (just east of the mosque). Large and impressive �
Confucian Temple, (A couple of blocks west of the Taoist Temple, just off Tumen Street). This is the main Confucian temple in town. �

Old Saint, (On the peak of Qingyuanshan just outside town). An enormous statue of Lao Tse, the founder of Taoism, which attracts people from all over China. �
