Xiaowei Chengdu

It will become the longest and rare urban axis in China

Gathering city bustling

To clarify the development and pattern of the city

01

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

Li Jieren (1891~ 1962), a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, is one of the most influential literary masters in modern China

From then on, Renmin Road went south into the era of Tianfu Avenue

The history of Tianfu Avenue can be traced back to 15 years ago

In 2004, Chengdu approved the naming scheme for Tianfu Avenue

And Tianfu Avenue is divided into northern, middle and southern sections

In 2012, Chengdu proposed the concept of building a "hundred-mile city axis"

In 2016, the Baili axis became longer again

South to Renshou County in Meishan, north of Deyang Jingyang District

Ultimately up to 150 kilometers

So, this avenue connecting the north and south of Chengdu
