Chang'an Avenue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chang'an Avenue (Hanyu Pinyin: cháng ān jiē 长安街, meaning "Long Peace Avenue") is a major through route in Beijing, China.
Strictly speaking, it only encompasses West Chang'an Avenue and East Chang'an Avenue. Less strictly speaking, it encompasses the stretch from Fuxingmen on the Western 2nd Ring Road through to Jianguomen on the Eastern 2nd Ring Road.
In very broad terms, it refers to the stretch of road (the Extended Chang'an Avenue) as the route from Shijingshan District through to Tongzhou District, including portions of the Jingtong Expressway.
This article, and related articles, consider it to be the road from Fuxing Road through to the beginning of the Jingtong Expressway (E. 5th Ring Road). Others have defined it as the road from Shijingshan Road through to Dawangqiao on Jianguo Road.
