Lonely Planet review

With a history dating back to the 10th century, this recently renovated Chinese-styled mosque is Běijīng's largest. A burial site for a number of Islamic clerics, the grounds of the mosque are given over to a profusion of greenery, flourishes of Arabic, the main prayer hall (only Muslims can enter), women's quarters and the Building for Observing the Moon (Wàngyuèlóu), from where the lunar calendar was calculated.

Dress appropriately (no shorts or short skirts) and be particularly respectful on Fridays, or save your visit for another day of the week.
