As night falls, the lights come on, and the red walls shine. Holding the national flag, singing "My Motherland and I", riding along Chang'an Avenue at night, checking in at Chang'an Avenue landmarks along the way, and appreciating the style of the capital, the charm of the ancient capital, and the style of the times has become a travel ritual favored by young tourists.

Indeed, if there is one street that best represents the capital Beijing, it must be "China's No. 1 Street" - Chang'an Avenue.

There is no doubt that from the perspective of its length, width, historical value, cultural heritage, and political significance, Chang'an Avenue is a "window" that witnesses the historical changes and development of Beijing and even China. It is also the most beautiful scenery on the road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Chang'an Avenue is called "the first street in China" not only because of its length and width, but also because of its unique location. There are many political red buildings and landmark historical buildings on both sides of Chang'an Avenue. These political symbols have shaped a unique political image, such as Tiananmen Tower, Xinhua Gate of Zhongnanhai, Tiananmen Square, Great Hall of the People, Monument to the People's Heroes, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, National Museum of China, National Culture Palace, Palace Museum, National Grand Theater, Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, China Millennium Monument, Beijing Hotel, Jingxi Hotel, etc. Many national events of great and far-reaching significance to the Party and the people have taken place here.
