Shuangqing Villa on Fragrant Hill is located in the hillside of Xiangshan Park. Elegant environment, lush forests and canopy gingkos attract masses of tourists to visit. In 1994, Shuangqing Villa was named “Beijing Children & Youth Education Base”.

In March 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Pingshan County, Hebei Province removed here. Mao Zedong, with other leaders, commanded at the villa the battle of crossing the Changjiang River, and discussed plans to construct the country. A great deal of preparation work was done here for the founding of the People's Republic of China.

An exhibition in the courtyard entitled "Mao Zedong at Shuangqing," displays a large number of cultural relics, work and life necessities, photos and pictures which record the working and living scenes of Chairman Mao in Shuangqing Villa. Visitors can feel the atmosphere of that period and touch upon the immortal spirits of the great man.
