Dongsi Mosque
Dongsi Mosque
📍Location : 13 Dongsi S St, Dongcheng, Beijing, China, 100006https://maps.app.goo.gl/BVNepwufW7DnM87EA
Nestled in Beijing's Dongcheng District, Dongsi Mosque stands as a magnificent testament to China's Islamic history. Built in 1356 during the Ming Dynasty, this sacred site has served as both a spiritual center for Beijing's Muslim community and a stunning example of cultural fusion.
What makes it truly special? The mosque masterfully blends traditional Chinese architecture with classic Islamic design – think sweeping courtyard layouts adorned with intricate Arabic calligraphy, topped with distinctive green-tiled roofs. Its iconic white marble moon observatory whispers tales of ancient astronomers determining holy dates under the night sky.
