Almost every town in Burma with a Panthay population has its 'Panthay Balee' or Chinese Muslim mosque. Some of the more important are in Rangoon; Taunggyi; Mogok; Myitkyina; and Lashio. However; the most architecturally interesting; and the one with the oldest history; is the Panthay Mosque at Mandalay.
According to records kept by the Mandalay Panthay community; as well as to oral tradition passed down amongst them; King Mindon encouraged Panthay traders to settle in Mandalay with a view to promoting trade between Burma and Yunnan.
