Luodai is located about 10 kilometers north of Longquanyi, at the foot of San'e Mountain in the middle section of Longquan Mountain. It is an ancient town with a long history. It is said that in the Han Dynasty, a street called "Wanjing Street" had already been formed. At that time, vendors gathered here, and it was bustling and prosperous. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, supported the construction of town streets. He wanted to revitalize the local economy, so he changed the name to "Wanfu Street". Because it was the place where Liu Adou, the last emperor of Shu, studied, and Adou was playful, he accidentally dropped his jade belt into an octagonal well in the area, so it was named "Luodai", which later evolved into "Luodai". Luodai Town is located in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, in the northern part of Longquanyi District, with obvious location advantages. Luodai is 18 kilometers west of Chengdu City, 11 kilometers south of Longquan City and the national Chengdu Economic and Technological Development Zone, 3 kilometers from the entrance of Sunshine City of Chengyu Expressway, 43 kilometers from Shuangliu International Airport, and 1.5 kilometers north of Hong'an Railway Station. Luodai Town has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Luodai Ancient Town has a long history. It is said that it was built as a street in the Han Dynasty, named "Wanjing Street". More than 86% of the town's population are descendants of Hakka immigrants, mainly from Hakka settlements in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces. The long history of thousands of years and the blending of multiple cultures have left behind many folk legends, historical relics, ancient buildings, and Hakka guild halls. Well-preserved historical sites include the thousand-year-old street, Ming and Qing residential buildings, Hakka guild hall complexes, and Jinlong Temple. The annual "Water Dragon Festival" and "Fire Dragon Festival" are characteristic folk activities passed down by Hakka people for hundreds of years. Luodai Town is one of the first batch of key small towns in the country, a provincial famous historical and cultural town, a key protected town in Chengdu, and the largest and only Hakka ancient town in western China. Therefore, it is also known as "Luodai of the World, Forever Hakka" by the world. As one of the core venues of the 20th World Hakka Reunion Conference, Luodai's Hakka cultural status in the world has been determined. Luodai Town has rich tourism resources.

It is a national greening town. Water, electricity, gas, roads, communications, education, hospitals, postal services and other basic and municipal facilities are complete. During the Three Kingdoms period, Luodai Town was called Zhenzichang. There is a pond in Zhenzichang, and there is an octagonal well in the middle of the pond. Legend has it that the water in the well is spit out from the mouth of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and it tastes sweet and beautiful. People take well water to make tea, and the tea is fragrant and refreshing; using it to wash your face can also keep your face young and beautiful. People at that time came to this well to get water for life. Strangely, the water in the well could not be taken out. At night, the water level of the well dropped a little, and by the next morning, the water in the well was full again. Even when the weather was dry, it was no exception. At that time, people living in the area spread a saying that there were carps from the East China Sea in the well. If you fish them out and eat them, they taste very delicious, and eating them can prolong your life. It happened that Prince Adou of Liu Bei, the Lord of Shu, lived in Zhenzichang. At that time, Adou was still young and playful. After hearing the news, he chose an auspicious day and led his entourage and eunuchs to the side of the octagonal well. It was noon, and the bright sunshine shone around the well. Adou ordered all the eunuchs to go to the pond to fish. The eunuchs took off their boots and rolled up their trouser legs one by one, and fished in the pond for a long time, but they didn't catch anything. At this time, a white-haired old man caught a big carp about a foot long. When Adou saw this, he immediately became jealous. He led all the eunuchs to grab the fish that the old man had hooked. As a result, the fish struggled desperately in Adou's hands, and accidentally fell into the pond with the fish. As soon as the fish entered the water, its body swam flexibly. It only shook its tail and passed through the stone cave into the octagonal well. The fish disappeared in the blink of an eye. Adou hurriedly jumped into the well to fish it out. When the eunuchs fished him out, they found that the jade belt around his waist had fallen into the water in the chaos, and the fish had entered the sea eye and returned to the East China Sea. When Adou came to his senses, the old man who was fishing had also magically disappeared, but there was a white silk ribbon where he had just sat, with the words: "Don't think about the hardship of starting a business, the child is too absurd. The belt fell into the octagonal well, and the emperor's fortune will never prosper." From then on, the story of the prince falling belt spread like wildfire, and people renamed Zhenzichang as "Luodai". Later, because people thought the word "Luo" in Luodai was unlucky, they changed it to Luoyang's Luo, which became today's "Luodai". This story has been circulating for more than 1,700 years. It not only explains the origin of Luodai, but also echoes the authenticity of other stories that happened during Adou's life in Luodai, such as the story of Gunlongpo and Tianziying. At the same time, it connects the Hakka culture of Luodai with the culture of the Three Kingdoms more closely, and also reflects the importance of the Luodai area at that time.
