Although it was the first time to build a private hot spring villa in Tangshan, Tao immediately moved out with his family because of the excellent water quality and strange curative effect of Tangshan hot spring.

Tao Jinbao (also known as Tao Xi III, Tao Daokai), the owner of the famous lawyer Lu Tao who returned from Japan, brought it from Tangshan to repay the society. Based on Lu Tao and other industries, he founded the Nanjing branch of the World Red Swastika Society, a Taoist charity, in 1922, and served as its president for 26 years until his death.
