Mosque in Chinese Style (2010)

Niujie Mosque is the oldest mosque in Beijing, built in 996 during the Liao Dinasty, but most of the buildings we see today are from the Qing Dinasty (17th century). The architecture is a mixture of Islamic and Han Chinese tradition. Niujie, which literally means “Ox Road”, is the biggest and oldest Muslim quarter in Beijing (mostly the Hui Muslims), with numerous shops and restaurants offering halal food.

Masjid Gaya China (2010)

Masjid Niujie adalah masjid tertua di kota Beijing, didirikan pada tahun 996 M, namun bentuknya yang sekarang utamanya adalah peninggalan dari Dinasti Qing (abad ke-17). Bangunan ini merupakan perpaduan antara seni arsitektur Muslim dan Han China. Niujie sendiri berarti “Jalan Sapi”, merupakan daerah komunitas Muslim tertua dan terbesar di Beijing (mayoritas penghuninya adalah etnis Muslim Hui), dengan barisan toko dan restoran yang menjual produk makanan halal.
