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

History[edit]

The mosque was originally constructed during the Yuan Dynasty. 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.[1]

Architecture[edit]

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.[1]

Transportation[edit]

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