The long-lasting
history of Huairou can be dated from the Tang Dynasty over 1300
years ago and the jurisdiction remains the same as that in 1368.
On December 30, 2001, Huairou District was officially set up
under the approval of the State Council. In ancient Chinese,
the character 'Huai' means 'Coming', and 'Rou' means 'Appeasementˇ¦,
when coming together they mean benevolent rule, national unity
and mutual development.
