People Told Us Islam was banned in china but we found the cities muslim area and the TRUTH was revealed! its Chinese name is "+/f" (niú jie), which directly translates to "cattle street." In fact, it's very close to the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, so there are no actual cows here. The mosque was built in 996 AD, making it over 1000 years old, and it's a mix of Chinese and Arabic architectural styles. It covers about 6000 square meters and used to be a political, cultural, and commercial center during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Many Muslim merchants and believers settled here.
During the Cultural Revolution in 1996, the Cow Street Mosque was closed and damaged, repurposed for uses like storage. It wasn't until 1978, after efforts from the government and the community, that the mosque was restored and protected. It gradually regained its status and influence within the Muslim community.
Today, Cow Street is a very famous Hui ethnic food street.
It's where we explored. Yes, we tried the wonderful Halal muslim food of beijing china!
