Live Your Best Lives
Chang'an Avenue is an east-west axis of Beijing, starting from Dongdan in the east and ending at Xidan in the west. Tiananmen is located on the north side of the midpoint of Chang'an Avenue, and Tiananmen Square is on its south side.
On both sides of Chang'an Avenue are the Great Hall of the People, Zhongnanhai, and other central government agencies such as the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Commerce.
Considered to be the longest and widest street in the world, it is also one of the most important streets in China, where military parades are held.
When spring comes every year, all the magnolias bloom together, forming a beautiful picture with the blue sky, red walls and yellow glazed tiles.

It is the coordinates of Beijing. It is worth walking from beginning to end.
The night view is beautiful, reminding me of the beloved Premier Zhou
The horizontal axis of Beijing . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A must-see when you are in Beijing!
The streets with Beijing characteristics may be very ordinary and few people notice their existence.
Under the red walls on both sides of Xinhua Gate, the magnolia flowers here represent the highest level of the capital. The red walls, yellow tiles and white magnolias complement each other.
Beijing's storefronts have good security measures
The start time of the flag-raising ceremony is consistent with my sunrise time on that day, which can be easily checked on the phone. And before entering the site, you have to go through security check, so you must reserve time. We originally set the alarm for 4 o'clock, but we woke up a little late. Unfortunately, we missed the front row seat, so we simply carried our son on our shoulders and let him enjoy it to his heart's content. I was drowned in the crowd. Looking around, the children carried on their shoulders became a beautiful landscape.
It must be said that the entire flag-raising ceremony was solemn and inspiring. Watching the guard of honor marching with great dignity, watching the flag-raiser throwing the national flag into the air with all his might, watching the bright five-star red flag rising slowly in the morning sun, all that came to my mind was my infinite love for the motherland! The drum band will play the "National Anthem" and "Singing the Motherland", and the deep resonance made us all sing blessings to the motherland together, singing our beloved motherland, and moving towards prosperity and strength from now on!
It just happened that there was an important event and the venue was cleared (＾－＾)VThe weather was good
The first impression is that Chang'an Avenue is really big and wide, with a royal style.
The ten-mile-long street is the symbol of the capital and the face of the country.
The longest street in Beijing, most of the key central government departments are located here
It is the east-west axis of Beijing. Metro Line 1 is laid underground along it, and the most important section is from Wangfujing to Xidan.
We felt great riding on the long, wide and quiet road!
One of the landmarks of Beijing. A must-visit place when visiting Beijing. Although Beijingers don't go there often, they always have a place in their hearts for it.
There is nothing much to say, a street with too many stories, a must-see
It is the cleanest and tidiest street in the country. It must feel good to drive through it.
everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone
A street with its own aura no matter day or night
Ten miles of long streets! Walking down the street at two o'clock in the evening, just to wait for the moment when the flag is raised
It's OK. It's an administrative center. It's also good to go and see the scenery.
The ten-mile long street can be said to be the main thoroughfare for military parades in China.
The inspection in Zhongnanhai is very strict!!!
It's very spacious and has a very Chinese feel. But it feels too solemn, with police and security everywhere.
Walk along the ten-mile long street and enjoy the culture of the capital. Relive Beijing's 800-year history, experience eight centuries in one day, and experience eight hundred years in one day.
You must come here when you come to Beijing. There are many famous buildings around here.
It was very solemn and I had to go. I was very glad to see the first flag-lowering in 2016. Although I was still in Shanghai in the morning, I could only catch the flag-lowering.
The main road in Xi'an runs through the north and south. Along the way, there are scenic spots such as the TV Tower, Xiaozhai, Yongning Gate, Bell Tower, and Daming Palace. It is very prosperous, but it will be very congested during rush hour. It is recommended to travel during off-peak hours.
I went to watch the flag raising ceremony early in the morning. It was spectacular. It happened to be January 1, 2016. After the flag was raised, there was also the release of peace doves. A must-see.
There are a lot of cars. And the security check shouldn't be too much.
It's just like that. You have to go through security after walking two steps. It's really annoying. People are staring at you everywhere. People who come here are all from other places who come to watch the fun. Locals will find it boring.
On the first day in Beijing, it was afternoon. I put my luggage away and waited to watch the flag-lowering ceremony. It was not rush hour, so there were not many cars on the road. It was so spacious!
It's a very big street. Unfortunately, it was blocked before the military exercise when I went there.
There were a lot of cars and it was very congested. We took a taxi back to the hotel on Qianmen Street, but we encountered traffic control. We were stuck in the traffic jam for half an hour. Finally, we gave in and listened to the driver's advice. He took us to the subway entrance and took the subway back. The traffic jam in Beijing is no worse than that in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
I’m very proud and I like the solemnity here. I want to go there again after I come back!
I have seen the flag-raising ceremony here twice: the first time was when I was six years old, during the summer vacation. I woke up very early in the morning and was very excited. Although there were a lot of people in the square, I felt very close to the flag guard. The second time was when I was twenty-three years old, on New Year’s Day. The weather was very cold and windy, and I was frozen. A large area was cordoned off in the middle of the square, and I felt very far away from the flagpole. When the national flag rose with the rising sun, my heart was immediately filled with positive energy!
My heart was filled with emotion for a moment. For someone who has only been deeply moved by the "Ten Miles of Chang'an to Farewell the Prime Minister" from words or images, I have a lot of feelings for this street in my heart.
I walked back and forth many times, and from time to time I could see well-equipped police officers and armed police brothers.
It is the No. 1 street in China, and the buildings on both sides are magnificent, but there are too many people, and the checkpoints are inconvenient.
The most central area, the vein closest to the heart
I went there in the morning. Since it was working hours, there were not many tourists. The security of the square was very good.
The ten-mile long street is busy with cars and people, and the government offices are lined up on the roadside.
look forward to.
When I pass this street, I think of that scene: Farewell to Premier Zhou
An east-west axis of Beijing, named after the capital city of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty - "Chang'an", which means long-term peace and stability. It starts from Dongdan in the east and ends at Xidan in the west.
The center of the heart of China, with its wide, straight and flat roads, red walls and roadside trees, has a sense of grandeur and calmness.
Red walls, yellow tiles, blue sky, bare tree silhouettes. Although it is April, for me who grew up in the south, this is the first time I feel the colors of autumn.
