The Central Avenue in Harbin, the capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province , has been the city's most prosperous commercial hub for over one hundred years.

Built in 1898, the Central Avenue is dubbed as "a gallery of European architectural art." The street, lined with a large number of Western architecture, is a must-see in Harbin. People who have never visited Moscow, Paris or Rome can gain a feeling and appreciation for the architecture of those cities by visiting the Central Avenue in Harbin.

 The business hub

Central Avenue is 1,400 meters long and 11 meters wide, stretching from north to south. It starts from the Memorial Tower of Fighting against the Floods of the Songhua River in the north and ends at Xinyang Square. On both sides of the avenue are nearly 200 stores and restaurants, forming a mature commercial service center. In recent years, the stores have been refurbished outside, and have been decorated with lanterns and colored streamers. The transformation has made Central Avenue all the more magnificent.
