Because the roof is made of selected imported thatch, which is insulated and kept warm in winter and cool in summer, it is named "Caoting". Later, due to the decay of thatch, the roof was replaced with machine-made tiles. This was originally the place where Chiang Kai-shek received distinguished guests. Chiang Kai-shek's eldest son Chiang Ching-kuo and Zhang Zhizhong, director of the attendant's office, once lived here. In 1945, General Marshall, the special envoy of the US President, stayed here after coming to Chongqing.
