　　 Southwest of outer Beijing City is the Xuanwu District, where you will find Niujie Street, formerly called Liuhe Village. In the past this street was ornated with vegetable and fruit gardens. Today, its main attraction is the Niujie Mosque. Built in 996 during the Liao Dynasty, it is the biggest and oldest mosque in Beijing. In 1442 during the Ming Dynasty, and in 1696 during the Qing Dynasty, the Mosque was repaired several times.
The Niujie Mosque is a famous Islamic temple covering an area of approximately 6000 square meters. With the hexagonal Watching Moon Tower that is unique to Islamic temples, the Niujie Mosque presents an aesthetic blend of architecture, reflecting both ancient Chinese palaces and Arabian mosques.
