Beijing's Madian Mosque, covering an area of 3,800 square meters, is a typical traditional Chinese courtyard. The main structures are the prayer hall and teaching rooms. The south teaching room is now a dormitory for the imams, and the north teaching room is the office. A stone stele stands on both sides (north and south) of the prayer hall. The stele on the south side is marked with the striking sign of "Ren Zhu Du Yi." The stele of the north side was created during the Daoguang Period (1821-1580) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). In the prayer hall, a variety of tablets engraved with Arabic hangs on the walls. On the roof of the hall there are ceiling lamps and fans. The mosque also provides female Muslims with a prayer hall for women and girls to the north of the prayer hall.
