My Trip

Niujie, home to Beijing's Hui Muslim community, is a top local-food district where a millennium-old mosque and halal old-shop fare are very much alive. Tour the mosque architecture, then pass a popular lamb-hotpot spot and a halal snack alley, walking on to Beijing's oldest temple: a food-and-culture half-day. All within walking distance.
