(250803) -- CHANGCHUN, Aug. 3, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Tourists visit the Changchun History and Culture Museum on Xinmin Avenue in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin Province, July, 31, 2025. Changchun's Xinmin Avenue is a historical major road first built in 1933. After a recent renovation, it reopened to the public on July 5.
Stretching 1,445 meters, the avenue underwent significant upgrades, creating an additional 4.5 hectares of urban space and 13 unique mini parks.
The avenue is flanked by buildings that once housed the State Council, ministries and a court of Manchukuo, the puppet state in northeast China after the region was taken by the Japanese army.
The Changchun History and Culture Museum, opening simultaneously, is located in the middle section of the avenue. The museum was converted from the former site of the office of the Changchun Daily. (Xinhua/Zhang Nan)
