WebsiteThe design of this mosque reflects its locale. It has curved eaves, colorfully painted supports and beams, and glazed roof tiles. It is located on the eastern side of Niu (Ox) Street, home to a large community of Chinese Muslims (known as Hui). The temple was built under the direction of Nastruddin, the son of an Arabic priest who came to China in 996! The call to pray is announced from the minaret five times a day, beginning at dawn. The prayer hall can accommodate 1,000.
