Fuxingmen Inner Street (simplified Chinese: 复兴门内大街; traditional Chinese: 復興門內大街; pinyin: Fùxīngmén Nèi Dàjiē) is a major street in urban Beijing. It forms part of the extended Chang'an Avenue.
It starts at Fuxingmen Bridge in the west, finishing at West Chang'an Avenue in the east.
The Xidan commercial area is in the neighbourhood of the street, flanked by other more modern buildings, such as the Beijing Times Square. The impressive building of the Bank of China also sits on this street, together with the People's Bank of China.
Line 1 of the Beijing subway runs along this route.
Famous quotes containing the word street:
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
