Unclaimed

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:-

13/06/2025 Visited for Jummah Salaat. Beautiful, peaceful Masjid close to Wangfujing district, Lecture: 13:00 Khutbah: 13:30

We stayed nearby and decided to visit on a Sunday. A guy at the front building allowed us to enter to take a look and take photos. Dating back to the Yuan dynasty, it's one of the oldest mosques in Beijing and has a madrasah or college at the rear. Non Muslims may just view the main prayer hall from outside the doors.
