History
The name 'Duodao' is derived from an incident involving Guan Yu said to have occurred in the area during the Three Kingdoms period. On March 17, 2001, Hechang Township, Macheng Town, Tuanlinpu Town, Duodaoshi Subdistrict and Baimiao Subdistrict, originally part of Dongbao District, were made into Duodao District.[1]

Economy
Once an array of vegetation and fields, Duodao has developed rapidly over recent years. Apartment buildings and businesses have quickly cropped up and Duodao is soon to be home to Jingmen's first Walmart store.
Duodao is the location of Jingmen Hi-Tech Technology Industrial Park which hosts international companies such as Li Ning,[5] which has its largest distribution centre here.
