【New Attraction】Hongqi Street Route 54 Cultural Tourism Tram

In the streets of Changchun, there's a "storytelling" tram. The Route 54 that has been running since the 1940s carries urban memories in the rhythmic clatter of its wheels on the tracks.

This year's upgraded cultural tourism tram features wooden seats bathed in warm yellow lighting, with street views framed by windows like flowing vintage photographs. Holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee, passengers can witness the neon lights of Hongqi Street alongside historical Manchurian-era architecture, blending retro charm with modern vibes.

The themed trams offer continuous surprises: the spring "Cherry Blossom Tram" carries a delicate floral fragrance, while the winter "Cute Tiger Carriage" is adorned with plush decorations, as if bringing a zoo into the cabin. This journey, free from the pressure of "checking in at attractions," transforms public transport from mere commuting into a moving poem that invites slowing down and reading the city's texture.

Many tourists specifically include a ride on Route 54's cultural tourism tram in their Changchun itinerary, sharing their experiences and scenic views along the way. This has sparked a trend of in-depth urban exploration in Changchun, drawing more visitors to stop and explore areas like Hongqi Street and other neighborhoods along the route.
