Ox Street Mosque or Cow Street Mosque (?????; Niu Jie Qingzhensi) was first built in 966. It was destroyed in 1215 by Genghis Khan. Reconstruction of the mosque occurred during the reign of Qing Emperor Kangxi (r. 1661 - 1722).
The mosque has all the usual features of mosques found elsewhere in the world - minaret; prayer hall facing Mecca; Arabic inscriptions - the buildings themselves are distinctly Chinese. It remains Beijing's largest and oldest mosque.
