Beijing Nandouya Mosque was first built during the third year (1789) of Jiaqing during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and has a history of more than two hundred years. The main structures are the temple gate, the prayer hall, the wing-rooms, and other facilities. The lintel of the gate is arabesque in style, and on top of it sits a pole decorated with a crescent moon. The spacious and bright prayer hall is located in the west and holds 200 people during prayer. The hall also contains many benches and seats for older people. The front of the hall contains a spacious courtyard surrounded by beautiful corridors. Imams live in the south room, while the east room is used for their teaching of the Koran. The north room is a meeting room.

The mosque remains a place for Muslims to pray.
