Changxindian Mosque

In Changxindian Street, the road is not wide, there are shops on both sides, the temple is not big, but it is particularly lively to catch up with Ramadan.

The lost millennium town is only 19 kilometers from the center of Beijing, but there are few things to ask about, which is Changxindian Street in Fengtai District. Don't look at it now, it is unknown, history can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, far longer than the famous Lugou Bridge, once a fortress in the southwest of Beijing. Walking in the tree-lined old street, the traces of the years seem to be absent. There is no general ancient town, no artificial renovation and re-engraving, even the old stone roadway is replaced by asphalt road. The old shops and dilapidated alleys are obviously behind the development of the times, and the glory of the first half of life seems to stop in the 1980s. Only the blackboard on the mountain wall reported that "the war epidemic is not over, and prevention and control cannot be relaxed." This slogan reminds the world that the ancient town is well. The cultural relics building Changxindian Catholic Church: Located in the church alley of Changxindian Street, although the gate is closed and not open to the outside world, it still cannot block the grandeur of the church. From the timetable posted on the gate, there are still religious activities here. Laoye Temple: The former site of the Republic of China Chamber of Commerce is now the Changxindian Community Service Center. The building is quite characteristic, but unfortunately it cannot be visited. Mosque: The construction period is the Qing Dynasty, and the appearance is very different from the traditional mosque. If I didn't see the ancient halal temple clearly written on the forehead of the gate, I thought it was a Buddhist temple. It is not open to the outside world, it is a place of worship for Muslims. Hutong: There are many alleys in Changxindian, which are distributed vertically on both sides of Changxindian Street, forming fish bones-shaped streets. It is a well-preserved traditional layout in Beijing. Changxindian Railway Station: a century-old station, built in Guangxu 24 years, belongs to the Luhan Railway. The first large-scale workers' movement in China's history, the Beijing-Han Railway 27 strike, Changxindian is an important part. Changxindian Erqi Park: built to commemorate the 27th strike. Close to Changxindian Railway Station, bordering the Erqi Memorial Hall, the park is evergreen in four seasons, and the 27th Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery is located in the center of the park.
