as a representative object of early industrial buildings in beijing, the fate of changxindian water tower has changed with the times and history. it witnessed the glory of steam locomotives in the early days of the beijing-zhangjiakou railway, and also witnessed the pace of the japanese army's occupation of changxindian. as time went by, the water tower gradually became deserted and became a relic in the process of urban development.

however, the story of changxindian water tower is much more than that. it is not just a building, but also a witness to history. in 2001, tongzhou district listed it as a cultural heritage site, which means that the water tower has been given important cultural value.
