This CCC walk will explore Niujie (Ox Street), a largely Muslim community in Beijing's Xuanwu District. You will get a feel for the unique Muslim quarter with old Beijing hutong atmosphere.

In the company of Mr. Yang, Imam from Beijing Muslim Association and CCC interpreter, you will visit an ancient mosque over 1,000 years old, including two graves of foreign imams and a library (usually only open to foreign visiting officials) of important Islamic artifacts and gifts from emperors and Islamic country leaders. The Chinese Muslims (Hui people)'s life and related China's policy will be narrated. We will meet local Muslim elders and chat with them about their daily services and visiting pilgrims.

Then we will take a walk in the Muslim inhabited hutongs (alleys), we see food stands, and a college for training imams. After the tour, you can take a look at a Muslim supermarket or try some Muslim food and snack.

Please note that dress properly to comply with the Muslim custom, e.g. shorts and sleeveless are not recommended.
