Chadao Village is located 1.5 kilometers northwest of the Badaling Great Wall. It is the site of Chadao Castle of military camps built in the 30^th year of the reign of Emperor Jiajing (1551) of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It has a history of more than 450 years and relics from the Ming and Qing dynasties are seen everywhere at the wall. It was listed as a municipality protected historic site by the Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2001.

The ancient Chadao castle has now become a distinctive scenic spot at the foot of the Badaling Great Wall. The central ancient street, Town God’s Temple, Ganyu Temple, ancient post, street side shops, inns and siheyuan (quadrangle houses) all reflect the culture of the ancient town. Whenever the autumn winds blow, the undulating mountains around the Chadao will be covered with red leaves of maple trees. Tourists can completely enjoy the scene of “Chadao Autumn Winds” which used to be one of the eight scenic views in Yanqing.

There are 30 municipal-level family inns in the village. It is a civilized tourism village at the county, municipality and even state level. It is also the richest village in Yanqing. It won the title of “Top 100 Rich Villages in the Suburbs of Beijing” conferred by the Municipal Agricultural and Industrial Committee in 1998 and 2000.
