To my knowledge, though may be not accurate, they are mainly uygur and Hui and other fewer minorities. There are around 30 million muslim in China.

Very nice photos!
I have an Afghan Friend who is Shia and he married a Shia Han Chinese woman. Do you know the percentage of Sunni and Shia in China?

The Ancient Record of the Tang Dynasty describes a landmark visit to China by Saad ibn Abi Waqqas (ra), one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (s) in 650 C.E. This event is considered to be the birth of Islam in China. The Chinese emperor Yung-Wei respected the teachings of Islam and considered it to be compatible with the teachings of Confucius. To show his admiration for Islam, the emperor approved the establishment of China's first mosque at Ch'ang-an. That mosque still stands today after fourteen centuries.
Muslims in China number more than 35 million, according to unofficial counts. They represent ten distinct ethnic groups. The largest are the Chinese Hui, who comprise over half of China's Muslim population. The largest of Turkic groups are the Uygurs who are most populous in the province of Xinjiang, where they were once an overwhelming majority.
couldn't find the ratio b/w sunis and shais.
