It is one of the oldest lanes in Changzhou, which was built in The Wanli Period of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) in 1581. As Qingguo Lane at that time, joined the grand canal between Beijing and Hangzhou, which is one of the longest and oldest canals in the world, many ships gathered there and made it a distribution center of fruit. There were also many fruit stores along the bank. So, Qingguo Lane also has an old name, which is Qianguo Lane. After many years the canal diversed, but the lane's name remained.
