Where did Tianfu Avenue come from?
From the map, Renmin South Road and Tianfu Avenue
Like a straight beam of light, it opened the territory of Chengdu

However, before Tianfu Avenue
Renmin South Road was almost built into an alley only 7 meters wide
In 1958, Chengdu decided to rebuild Renmin South Road
Li Jieren, the first vice mayor of Chengdu after the founding of the People’s Republic of China
I have personally experienced the Champs Elysees.
A scenic spot across the heart of Paris
He is well aware of the 7-meter-wide Renmin South Road
It is absolutely impossible to meet the transportation needs of Chengdu’s urban development

Renmin South Road in the 1960s, according to Chengdu Local Chronicles
Li Jieren ignored opposition and built Renmin Road directly according to the width of 64 meters
Therefore, starting from Tianfu Square, via Renmin South Road
Connecting to the South Railway Station, a very clear urban central axis has taken shape
It also established the skeleton structure of modern Chengdu
