The Niujie Mosque, literally Ox Street Mosque, is Beijing’s most historical and majestic mosque. It is situated on the Niujie Street (Ox Street) in Xicheng District. First built in 996, the Niujie Mosque has a long history of around a thousand years, during which it has undergone numerous refits and extensions, and has greeted Muslims from all over the world to worship. The mosque covers an area of over 6,000 square meters, and is structurally based on traditional Chinese wooden palaces, yet adopts typical Arabic-style decorations. There are no human or animal figures among these decorations as these are considered taboo in Islam.
