Unique street wall building
* Period of the model mouth crossing the street.
The street building, as a street wall building, is an important boundary marker of the village, and at the same time plays a role in ensuring safety. On Modekou Street, there were four street crossing buildings. Geographers have deduced from the weathering of their soil and rocks that these street crossings are at least hundreds of years old.
Now, if you explore from east to west on Modekou Street, you can still see the remains of the old site of the street building.

In the past, it was a meeting place for military and military travel, and it was also the distribution center of minerals in western Beijing, and camels were the main transportation task in Beijing at that time.
Camel Bell Ancient Road. At that time, most of the coal produced from more than 300 coal kilns in Mentougou was transported by camels for factories and residents. Camels have great strength, can carry 500 to 800 catties, although they walk slowly, but they are not restricted by the road, and there are few accidents, in that era, it was a rare means of transportation.

Jingxi Modekou, Mayu, Sanjiadian and other places are the areas with the most camel breeding. Some people estimate that if the camels in western Beijing were lined up at that time, it would be enough to circle the city of Beijing three times. Early-riser trucks often line up like the Great Wall, waiting for the gates to open. As soon as the city gate opened, the camel bells rang together, like music.

In addition to transporting coal, camels are also responsible for transporting grain, fruits and other goods. During the period of camel caravans, the inns, shops, and liquor stores on the streets were bustling and prosperous.
Nowadays, the sound of camel bells can no longer be heard on the dragon-shaped ancient road, but the ancient temples and street buildings in the neighborhood have become carriers of history and culture, witnessing the changes of the times.
