The Dongsi Mosque (Chinese: 东四清真寺; pinyin: Dōngsì Qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in Dongsi Subdistrict, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. According to local legends, the mosque was built during the Liao dynasty when Beijing was the one of the secondary capitals of the Liao. However, records suggest that the mosque was constructed in 1346 during the Yuan dynasty. The mosque underwent expansion and renovation in 1447 and again in 1486. The mosque survived a fire in the late 19th century but suffered damage. Comprehensive repairs were done to the mosque throughout the 20th century. The mosque consists of two gates, a minaret, a prayer hall and a library. The prayer hall has Koran carved on the arches of the hall and can accommodate up to 500 worshipers. On the southern part of the courtyard there are five wing halls and on the northern part there are three wing halls. The architectural style of the mosque has features of Ming Dynasty. Located on the southern part of the courtyard, the library has various version of the Koran. The mosque is accessible within walking distance south of Dongsi Station of Beijing Subway. Wikipedia:-

At first, we did not recognize the mosque. We thougt, it's just another resident. And realized it's the mosque we're looking for after reading the name in front of the building complex. We got in through the gate. And elderly welcomed us. Maybe the imam or a caretaker. He did not speak any world of English. I tried to explain who we are, though. He nodded, inviting us to see the complex. But he did not accompany us. Which was very fine. It's very accomplised ancient architecture. A mosque without a dome. The shape reminded me of temples. But with charming caligraphy and colorful wooden pillars. It was so serene, cool, the birds sang. Very different from the hustle and bustle the Beijing has offered us that day. I wished somebody could tell us stories about this mosque in a language I understand. The mosque is not far from Dongshi subway station.
