The Nandouya Mosque (Chinese: 南豆芽清真寺; pinyin: Nándòuyá Qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China.

History

The mosque was originally constructed in 1879 during the Qing Dynasty.[1] In 2003, the mosque was relocated to its current location which is around 100 meters from its original location due to the development of the city. The new mosque was constructed with a cost of CNY8 million, collected from the Beijing City Government and donation from local Muslims.[2]

Architecture

The mosque has a capacity of 200 worshipers and spans over an area of 1,600 m2. It was built with orientation facing east and west with an Islamic lintel topped with a crescent moon on top of it.[2] It also has a meeting room.[3] The front of the mosque is a courtyard surrounded by corridors.[1]

Transportation

The mosque is accessible within walking distance north of Chaoyangmen Station of Beijing Subway.
