Diaowo Village
Destination Introduction
The Diaowo Village in Pinggu District has established a Civic Farmhouse Association, dedicated to providing you with the experience of staying in a farmhouse, enjoying farm-style meals, picking fruits, chatting about rural life, and indulging in the joy of the countryside. The village can also host group activities such as spring and autumn outings, summer camps, and campfire parties as part of traditional educational programs. Located north of the Huangsongyu Township government in Pinggu District, the village has 45 households, 28 of which have voluntarily joined the Civic Farmhouse Association, and 13 are officially designated as Beijing Folk Tourism Reception Households. These households hang signs at their entrances to welcome tourists. Leisure time in Diaowo is an excellent choice for your trip to eastern Beijing. With our warm and attentive service, we wish you a safe, pleasant journey and lasting happiness. Come as a guest, leave as a friend—Diaowo Village welcomes you forever.
In 2000, focusing on improving the tourism environment, the village invested 150,000 yuan to renovate lawns, lay green spaces, and build flower stands, transforming this small mountain village into a "mountain garden." But beauty isn’t just skin deep—the village Party branch prioritized uplifting villagers’ spirits and moral standards by investing 20,000 yuan to create a Civic Morality Propaganda Street. This included the installation of illuminated signs and large illustrated murals. Daily exposure to these surroundings helped instill refined values among villagers. The village also used “Civilization Courtyards” as platforms to regularly invite lecturers to conduct training sessions on topics like folk tourism reception etiquette, food hygiene, and basic English. Villagers came to a shared realization: for folk tourism to thrive, the environment, morality, and appearance all need to be beautiful.

A Folk Village in the Mountains
Diaowo, a small village nestled deep in the mountains of Huangsongyu Township with just 45 households, proudly displays a plaque inscribed by the renowned writer Hao Ran on the front of its farmhouse doors—“Shuiling Mountain Retreat.” The village is also home to the “China Landscape Painting Research Institute” founded by celebrated painter Chen Keyong. The small mountain settlement’s reputation as a well-known tourism-focused village is largely due to its innovative approach of attracting “urbanites to stay in farmhouses” and vigorously developing folk tourism.
