Where the mountains meet the plains, cradled by the flowing Qingshui River, lies Qingshui Town. This unassuming town, nestled on the western edge of Beijing’s Mentougou District, holds a history as clear and refreshing as the river it’s named after. Qingshui, meaning “Clean Water”, draws its name from the pristine waters that originate here, a source of life and inspiration for generations. Qingshui Town isn’t just a name; it’s a testament to the enduring power of nature. Imagine standing here in 1949, when Qingshui was a vital part of the Jingxi Mining District. The landscape echoed with the clang of pickaxes and the rumble of carts, a testament to the industrial heart of the region. Over the decades, Qingshui evolved. Thirteen local townships merged and reformed, shaping the town into the administrative entity it is today. By 1994, three townships – Qingshui, Huangta, and Jijiazhuang – united to form the modern Qingshui Town. Today, Qingshui Town comprises 32 distinct villages, each contributing to the rich tapestry of this community. These villages, with names like Yanjiatai, Lijiazhuang, and Shang Qingshui, are more than just administrative divisions. They are the homes of over 6,000 people, the heart and soul of Qingshui. In 2020, over six thousand souls called Qingshui home, a testament to the town’s enduring appeal. The Qingshui River, the town’s namesake, continues to flow, a constant reminder of the pure, refreshing spirit that defines Qingshui Town.
