Matou Cun is located on both sides of Jingtang Lu (Rd), established during the Liao Dynasty. Villagers gathered here because of the canal, and the village prospered because of the canal. During the busy canal transportation period, this was the first dock for civilian merchant ships entering Beijing, embodying a thousand years of canal history and canal commercial civilization. It is suitable for history and folklore enthusiasts to visit. In the east of Matou Cun, there is a hundred-meter cultural wall where visitors can watch scenes of dock vendors working hard during the heyday of canal transportation, as well as enjoy the cultural heritage of specialty snacks such as squeaky boxes, Qiji sesame oil, rice cakes, Wangjia steamed buns, and folk customs like the Xiaochihui and Ludenghui.
