## History

[edit]

In 1666 AD, Bing settled the village named Xiatun to hide away.[3] To avoid the strong wind, they moved down from the Ridge, renamed the village as Xiazhuang (下庄, literally "the village under the ridge"). To avoid duplicating names, they renamed again, which is Xiatun (下屯) until now.
