★★★★★
A beautiful masjid surounded by a Muslim neighborhood with many halal restaurants. Over 1000 years old, this mosque is constructed and decorated in Chinese style with a beautiful minaret. The main prayer hall is decorated with beautiful red and gold calligraphy along the columns/arches and paintings of gardens. Prayers are well attended and you can find many people after salat studying/reciting. However, female visitors may need a tour guide to see the main hall.
