After the liberation of the country, life has become increasingly stable. Some old comrades pointed out that our central leading comrades are busy with state affairs, and there is no centralized place for rest, fitness and entertainment, so it is difficult to guarantee safety.

According to everyone's opinions, Deng Xiaoping, Peng Zhen and other comrades of the Central Secretariat proposed to set up a club in Beijing to provide a comfortable environment for the party's vice ministers and leading cadres above the rank of major general. After site selection, the club decided to locate the site atNo. 1 Beekeeping Lane on the west side of Beihai-the former site of Beijing Maternity Hospital. The leadership of the club is hung in Beijing Hotel, and the official seal of the club is engraved with "Guest House of Beijing People's Committee Exchange Office", which people used to call "beekeeping channel".
