Lonely Planet review

The original building on the site of the Mosque Dedicated To The Prophet is believed to have been established in AD 627 by Abu Waqas, one of the Prophet Mohammed's uncles, making it the first of its kind in China. The present mosque dates from the Qing dynasty. The minaret on the mosque is called 'Smooth Minaret' (Guāng Tǎ) because of its smooth, unadorned appearance. The mosque is closed to non-Muslims and surrounded by heavy security. Take metro line 1, Xīmén Kǒu station, or bus 5.
