Chuandixia Village is situated in the town of Zhaiitang in the Mentougou district. Originally named "Cuidixia" in the Ming dynasty, after the vital military pass it resided under, (CuiliAnkou). The Village had its name changed in 1958 to the current Chuandixia. Chuandixia Village is comprised of many old residences, all of which are formed around the traditional courtyard style of the Qing Dynasty, or Siheyuan. These traditional houses are generally comprised of up to five main rooms, with a main house at the front and a back house. These would constitute three of the five rooms, with two wing rooms on the left and right, completing the courtyard. All of the houses would be placed in precise relation to each other, and all of these structures would have been single storey buildings.
