In the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Dingfu Street" because it was named after the mansion of Xu Zengshou, the grandson of the Ming general Xu Da and Duke of Dingguo. During the Republic of China period, the homophonic name was changed to "Dingfu Street", meaning "stability and prosperity". In 1965, during the rectification of place names, the current names were retained and historical titles were continued.

The Haoming Lake naturally separates three sections of the Great Wall, creating a unique landscape of the Great Wall playing in the water and the city walls submerged in water, known as the Two Wonders. The Ming Dynasty chestnut orchard, which is adjacent to the Great Wall and the lake, covers an area of over 100 acres and has more than 40 ancient trees planted by the defending soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

The 'Three Wonders' here are even more captivating and breathtaking:
The Great Wall, built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1404), is magnificent, steep, and majestic, hovering over the mountain ridge and surrounding the Haoming Lake, with beautiful and spectacular scenery. The Great Wall here is not only the north gate to guard the capital, but also an important gateway to guard the Ming Tombs, the "Ming Tombs", the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.
The "Two Wonders" lake water naturally breaks three sections of the Great Wall, creating a unique landscape of the Great Wall playing in the water and the ancient city walls submerged in water. It is also a unique "mountain jade, water Great Wall" that can be touched up close in the suburbs of Beijing, and the landscape of the three sections of the Great Wall entering the water like Huanghuacheng is truly unparalleled in China. There is a poem that goes: The city embraces the blue waves and ripples, and the water surpasses the ancient city walls; The urban water echoes, magnificent and leisurely.
The "Three Wonders" of the Ming Dynasty chestnut orchard are ancient trees with tangled roots and various shapes. The body of the giant dragon playing with pearls and supporting the crown of the sky are full of praise and admiration. During the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers guarding the city were divided into three parts for guarding the border and seven parts for cultivating and planting. They worked hard to cultivate the Ming Dynasty chestnuts, and although such a large area of ancient chestnut orchards had been weathered, they still had deep roots and lush leaves. It can be described as a unique cultural wonder in the suburbs of Beijing. There is a poem that praises: The ancient chestnut trees are lush and green, growing on the slope, and they remain calm even after enduring wind and rain; Not reluctant to offer abundant fruits, with plump particles that are renowned throughout the city.
