Historical Background:

Luliqiu Village is located in the eastern part of Mentougou District, and the water of Yongding River flows through the east of the village. Since the Yuan Dynasty, there have been glazed kilns here, and it was very prosperous in the Qing Dynasty, which was called "the hometown of China's royal glaze". Later, they built a water canal here and renamed it Liuli Canal after liberation.

Luliqiu Village is a thousand-year-old village that has experienced the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has inherited the ancient glaze firing technology. The glazed products fired here are colorful and gorgeous, not only for the exclusive use of the Ming and Qing palaces, but also used in modern times for the construction of the Great Hall of the People, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Beijing West Railway Station and other places.

The ancient village has preserved the spatial form of the traditional village intact. The street crossing building at the east entrance of the village, built in the twenty-first year of the Qianlong reign (1751), is the only yellow-glazed roofed Qing dynasty street crossing bridge in Beijing. The village preserves architectural relics such as a full-scale glazed manufacturer's mansion, the ruins of an ancient road on Xishan Avenue, and dozens of sets of Qing Dynasty residential compounds.
