Nan Douya Mosque

南豆芽清真寺
📍 Beijing · Dongcheng District

📜 About & history

Nan Douya Mosque takes its name from its original location at No. 15 Nan Douya (Nandouyacai) Hutong in Dongcheng District. In 2003 it was rebuilt on a nearby site—shifted about 25 meters south and 20 meters east—now at No. 4 Douban Hutong, roughly 200 meters north of Chaoyangmennei Dajie and only about 100 meters from Beijing's East 2nd Ring Road. It serves the Hui Muslim community of the Chaoyangmen area inside the old city. The mosque is compact but active in a densely built historic neighborhood.
