We left for Niujie Mosque at about 11.30am. Took the subway and reached the station near Niujie before zuhr prayer.
Decided to return to the same place we went the previous time for lunch. Alhamdulillah we chose to eat first coz the restaurant would be closing at 2pm before opening again at 5 in the evening.
We walked to Niujie Mosque right after lunch and along the way, found nice spot for foto taking :)) Everything looked lovely in the snowy weather. Sampaikan pokok botak takde daon pon cantek hehehe
Being the largest and oldest mosque in Beijing, Niujie Mosque is a must-see place. It has an interior of intricate traditional chinese architecture with Arabic calligraphy. Its exterior too has traditional chinese architecture, with pagodas & pavilions which makes it look more like a Chinese temple than a mosque. The female prayer hall is quite a distance from the main prayer hall and the interior for both is quite similar.
Any muslim who visits Beijing just gotta get here coz I guess Niujie Mosque is a must in the itinerary of any Beijing Muslim Tour.
We left the mosque at about 4pm and proceeded to the Niujie Muslim Supermarket once again :)
